Explanation:
sorry I really need points so I can ask a question
Answer:
Part A
HCOOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → HCOONa(aq) + H2O(l)
Part B
ClCH2CH2CO2H(aq) + NaOH(aq) ------> ClCH2CH2CO2Na(aq) + H2O(l)
Explanation:
The reaction between an alkanoic acid and a base is a neutralization reaction. The reaction occurs as follows;
RCOOH + NaOH ----> RCOONa + H2O
We have to note the fact that the net ionic reaction still remains;
H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) ---> H2O(l)
In both cases, the reaction can occur and they actually do occur as written.
The answer to this is hydrocarbons
Moles(AL)/moles(CL2) = 2/3
moles(CL2) = 3/2 * 3.90
moles(CL2) = 5.85 mol
