Answer:
Explanation:
The direct reaction of a carboxylic acid with an amine would be expected to be difficult because the basic amine would deprotonate the carboxylic acid to form a highly unreactive carboxylate. However when the ammonium carboxylate salt is heated to a temperature above 100 C water is driven off and an amide is formed.
Explanation:
Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)
Overall, balanced molecular equation
Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)
To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.
An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.
A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.
Oxidation number of Mg:
Reactant - 0
Product - +3
Oxidation number of Cr:
Reactant - +3
Product - 0
Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.
Oxidized : Mg
Reduced : Cr
Answer:
C. NaOH acts as a reactant in the reaction
Explanation:
Because during the saponification process, Na+ replaces the H+ in the fatty acid been used for the saponification process
