Chapter 3, Problem 25P

Write an equation, using the curved-arrow notation, for the acid-base reaction that will take place when each of the following are mixed. If no appreciable acid-base reaction takes place, because the equilibrium is unfavorable, you should so indicate.

(a) Aqueous $\text{NaOH}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\text{H}$

(b) Aqueous $\text{NaOH}$ and ${\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_5{\text{SO}}_3\text{H}$

(c) ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{ONa}$ in ethyl alcohol

(d) ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{Li}$ in hexane and ethyne

(e) ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{Li}$ in hexane and ethyl alcohol
