Title: Write the equation for each organic salt?
Post by: T33 on March 01, 2018, 09:04:39 AM

For the following salts this is my thoughts on the equation. Am I doing this correctly?

C7H4ClNaO2 + HCl -> C7H5ClO2
C7H7NaO + HCl -> CH3C6H4(OH)
C6H13NH+ + NaOH -> C6H15N

Looks fairly good to me. One tiny note on convention, for the carboxylic acid, we typically wouldn't draw a bond between O and Na. Putting them next to each other with charges implies the ionic bond. Its sort of like how you seldom see table salt drawn as Na⁺-Cl^-. On the phenolate you didnt draw the charges in, but also don't draw a bond there.
