maybe u guyz are confusing this reaction with a neutralization reaction, in that, the H from the acid is taken.
Na+(aq)+OH-1(aq)+H+(aq)+Cl-(aq) --> Na+(aq)+Cl-(aq)+H2O
@d!_†oX!©:
dude...the reaction is perfect but as u have chosen H from the ethanol and OH from the acid...its wrong...it has to be te other way round...
as in H from the acid....nd OH from ethanol..
thee is no doubt about onfusing wid neutralisation reaction....bt gotta understand dt be it neutralisation reaction or some other...an acid cannot give an OH-ion...
~~~~shreyapril~~~~:
it gives!!
i ahve also cheked my book!!
lactic acid gives OH!!
