Shu Xuan's answer to Jamie's Junior College 1 H2 Maths question.
Thank u !!
Wait why does the mole of naoh equal to 10cm3 of ch3co2hb isnt it for ch3co2ch2ch3 the eqm mixture?
ch3co2ch2ch3 is an ester so it doesn't react with NaOH (at rtp). The NaOH reacts with ch3co2h in an acid base rxn
Why for the water is - all the way
Since the rxn is in an aqueous medium water is in excess so we don't take it into account. Usually we consider water when the medium is non aqueous or when it's concentration is given
