Anyone able to balance/do the equation:

C8H7O2COOH + NaOH ->
I can't figure out the products.

C8H7O2COOH + NaOH =>C8H7O2COONa + H2O

acid + base ==> salt + H2O

Merci buckets. :D

Oui, oui!

Oui, oui!

is C8H7O2COONa an acidic salt or basic salt?

C8H7O2COOH + NaOH --> C8H7O2COO- + Na+ + H2O

not a salt but a solution

Thank u very much.

Very useful ... :)

This is lame.. Aspirin haha

you auxk

To determine whether C8H7O2COONa is an acidic or basic salt, you need to analyze the properties of the acidic and basic components involved.

In this case, C8H7O2COOH (also known as benzoic acid) is the acidic component and NaOH (sodium hydroxide) is the basic component. Benzoic acid is a weak acid, and sodium hydroxide is a strong base.

When a weak acid reacts with a strong base, the resulting salt is usually basic. Sodium hydroxide completely dissociates into Na+ and OH- ions in water. The OH- ions will react with the H+ ions from the benzoic acid, forming water and leaving the C8H7O2COONa salt.

So, C8H7O2COONa is a basic salt.
