Question

Which of the following is a feasible reaction?

• A. $C{H}_{3}COOH+NaCl\to$
• B. $C_6{H}_{5}COOH+KBr\to$
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

A) $NaCl$ is a neutral salt and hence there is no reaction between the salt and the acid.
B) $KBr$ is a neutral salt and hence there is no reaction between the salt and the acid.
C) Both of them are acidic and hence there is no reaction
D) Salicyclic acid is more acidic than p-hydroxy benzoic acid and hence this reaction is feasible.
