Explain the results for the tube in which 1.0 m naoh was added to benzoic acid. write an equation for this, using complete structures for all organic substances. not describe what happened when 6.0 m hcl was added to this same tube and explain this result.

When sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to benzoic acid (C), sodium benzoate and water () are formed because benzoic acid is weak acid and NaOH is strong base. The reaction is shown in diagram 1. To the tube of sodium benzoate, if 6 m HCl is added, sodium benzoate salt will react with HCl and produce benzoic acid and sodium chloride, NaCl. The reaction is shown in diagram 2.
