We converted methyl 3-nitrobenzoate to m-nitrobenzoic acid. I went into uni as a mature student without a background in chemistry so I lack the basics. I've got to describe the mechanism behind the base promoted hydrolysis --> we used 1.NaOH 2.HCl. Is the HCl used to protonate the CH3 COO - ?
Why is the water molecule added in the acid hydrolysis reaction, but not the alkali. I think the same applies to acid/alkali hydrolysis with amides too. But i dont know why.
Abdul Qaadir Al Shekhly Break the ester bond, put the H of the NaOH with the CH3O to form the alcohol and the ONa with the CH3 COO to form the carboxylate salt
Your videos have literally got me through my chem a level big thanks.
I wish someone did this with biology 😭
same
And the best explanation on youtube goes too 🥁🥁🥁🥁....MaChemGuy thank you sir
Re the question on acids, I've checked two books, both of which say dilute.

I know you said dilute sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid but in my textbook it has been corrected to concentrated. Which is right?
Jonathan Denfhy in my text book it says dilute (aqa)
In the body when breaking down stored adipocyte fat where does the water come from?
hi sir, just wondering do we have to know how to name esters made from secondary alcohols?
You don’t need to
Do we need to know about the uses of esters and their formulas as I can’t find it in the new specification.
Yet another brilliant video 🎉 thank you! I think I'll actually miss these videos once exams finish 😅
🙏
Feel free to keep watching!
Dude you literally helped me from hitting rock bottom at tomorrow's test
Melon Stuff Good luck!
is there a video on how soap and biodiesel is made? and the uses of esters?
For the CH3COOH + Na+ reaction at 4mins (acid + metal reaction) why was the H2 not produced?
It's not sodium metal it's the sodium ion
+MaChemGuy Ah i see thank you
You saved my life :D In my language there was no good film about it and additional i just realised how useful english is :)
Excellent! Glad I've been able to help. Can I ask where you are from??
Poland :)

same q
its a dilue acid
At 4:42 what happened to the extra hydrogen on the NaOH gone? Please help!!!!

thank you
😍😍😍
Thank you
Nyawira Waithaka You’re very welcome 😊
i dont get it....im fucked
