Consider the incomplete reaction below.

NaOH + X mc005-1.jpg NaCH3COO + H2O

What is X in this reaction?
NH4OH
H3PO4
H2CO3
CH3COOH

Respuesta :

x is CH3COOH. Beacuse its makes the equation balanced
kenmyna

    NaOH  + X → NaCH3COO  + H2O

In the incomplete  reaction    above    x  is CH3COOH  (  acetic acid)


Explanation

  •  carboxylic   acid react   with metal hydroxide  to form salt  and water.
  •  sodium hydroxide (NaOH) react with    acetic acid to form  sodium  acetate ( NaCH3COO and  water H2O.

NaOH + CH3COOH  →  NaCH3COO (salt)  + H2O
