Bacteria can’t live without humans
The three steps involve;
Step 1: Separation/expansion of the solute particles
Step 2: Separation/expansion of the solvent particles
Step 3; Combining the solute and solvent particles
The first two steps are usually endothermic. Step 3, nonetheless, can be either exothermic or endothermic and is significant in determining whether the dissolving process will be endothermic or exothermic.
Answer:
when 3-phenylpropanoic, PhCH₂CH₂COOH , is treated with NaOH, H₂0 it produce sodium salt of 3 - phenylpropanoic acid with water as a major product.
Explanation:
Carboxylic acid when treated with a base like NaOH or KOH gives carboxylate ion because H⁺ from acid reacts with OH⁻ from base gives H₂0 and salt of sodium carboxylate.
The mechanism of the above reaction given below
