When Carboxylic Acid is treated with Alcohols in the presence of acid as a catalyst it produces corresponding Esters. This reaction is called as Esterification.
 Also, this reaction is a reversible reaction and the ester formed can also hydrolyze to produce Carboxylic acid and Alcohol. This reverse reaction is called as transesterification.
The formation of Ethyl Acetate from Acetic Acid and Ethanol in the presence of acid is shown below,

Which is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of KOH and H2SO4? Which is the net ionic equation for the rea
NeX [460]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A balanced chemical reaction equation has the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation.

Hence, for the reaction between KOH and H2SO4, the balanced chemical reaction equation is;

H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) ---------> K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Complete ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) + 2K^+(aq) +2OH^-(aq) -------> SO4^2-(aq) + 2K^+(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Net ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) -------> 2H2O(l)

Show the difference in the reactivity of Na,Ca,Mg,Al,Fe,Cu with H2O
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Na react with H2O to form NAOH

2 Na+2H2O....................2NAOH + H2

Ca react with water and form calcium hydroxide

Ca + 2H2O........................Ca(OH)2

Mg react with water and form Magnesium hydroxide

Mg +2H2O .........................Mg(OH)2 however this coating of mg(oh)2 prevent it from further reaction

 Fe react with water and form ferric hydride

3Fe +H2O.......................2 FeH +FeO

copper do not react with water
