Answer:
Polyhydroxyl alcohols
Explanation:
Whenever we have several C-OH bonds, we have a polyhydroxyl alcohol. For example, if we have just one alcohol group, that is, an R-OH group, then the naming is simple, say, we have EtOH, it's ethanol.
The problem becomes more complicated when we have several hydroxyl groups present in the alcohol. Let's say we have an ethane molecule and we replace the hydrogen atoms of carbon 1 and 2 with hydroxyl groups. In that case, we have 1,2-ethanediol. Similarly, we can have triols etc.
That said, we have poly (several) hydroxyl groups and we can generalize this to having polyhydroxyl alcohols.
We have a solution of NaOH and H₂CO₃
First, NaOH will dissociate into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions
The Na⁺ ion will substitute one of the Hydrogen atoms on H₂CO₃ to form NaHCO₃
The H⁺ released from the substitution will bond with the OH⁻ ion to form a water molecule
If there were to be another NaOH molecule, a similar substitution will take place, substituting the second hydrogen from H₂CO₃ as well to form Na₂CO₃
