Write the balanced equation for dibenzalacetone and benzoic acid
HC7H5O2 + C17H14O --> HC17H14O + C7H5O2
To write the balanced equation for the reaction between dibenzalacetone and benzoic acid, we need to know the conditions under which the reaction occurs and the products formed. Unfortunately, you haven't provided any specific information regarding the reaction conditions.
However, I can provide a general balanced equation that you can modify based on the specific conditions of your reaction:
C6H5COOH + C17H14O --> Products
Keep in mind that the "Products" part of the equation can vary depending on the reaction conditions. If you provide additional information about the reaction, such as the solvent, temperature, and catalyst used, I can help you more accurately predict the products and balance the equation.
