Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The products formed from each of the given acid–base reactions are to be written.
Concept introduction:
舧 Acids are the substance that accepts a proton and form conjugate base.
舧 Bases are the substance that donates a proton and form conjugate acid.
舧 In acid–base reaction, acid and base react to form salt and water.
舧 The
舧 When sodium ethoxide reacts with phenol in acidic medium to form sodium phenoxide and ethanol as a side product.
舧 When sodium hydroxide reacts with phenol, formation of sodium phenoxide and water as a side product takes place.
舧 When sodium phenoxide reacts with the hydrochloric acid, formation of phenol and sodium chloride takes place.
