Predict the major product formed when benzoyl chloride (phcocl) reacts with sodium acetate.

The major product formed is acetic benzoic anhydride or C9H8O3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

benzoyl chloride = C6H5COCl

sodium acetate = C2H3NaO2

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

C6H5COCl + C2H3NaO2 → products

Step 3: Balancing the equation

C6H5COCl + C2H3NaO2 → C6H5CO+ +Cl- + Na+ + C2H3O2-

C6H5COCl + C2H3NaO2 → C9H8O3 + NaCl

Benzoyl chloride will react with sodium acetate to form acetic benzoic anhydride and sodium chloride.

The reason for this is because the incoming nucleophile is a stronger base than the halide ion (Cl-).

The major product formed is acetic benzoic anhydride or C9H8O3

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
