Answer:
Explanation:
Salicylic Acid:
Salicylic Acid is an hydroxy acid that is found as a natural compound in plants. It's IUPAC name is 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. Salicylic acid has an odorless white to light tan solid color. It sinks and mixes very slow with water.
Acid: An acid is a substance that produce hydrogen ion or proton when dissolved in water
Base: A base is a substance that will neutralize an acid to yield salt and water
Conjugate Base: This is a substance formed when an acid loses an hydrogen ion or proton when it dissolved in water.
Conjugate Acid: This is a substance formed when a base accept a proton from from any acid, when it dissolved in water.
Reaction between salicylic acid and potassium hydroxide
HOC₆H₄COOH(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇄ HOC₆H₄COOK(aq) + H₂O(l)
Acid ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOH (salicylic acid)
Base ⇒ KOH (potassium hydroxide)
Conjugate acid ⇒ H₂O (water)
conjugate base ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOK ( 2-hydroxypotasium benzoate)
