Just got back from the exam center and I'm glad to tell you that I'm losing 3-4 marks max in paper 4. Your organic chemistry videos were extremely helpful. I will be sure to check out your As/A level videos!
@@MaChemGuy there was this question on a past paper with a benzene which had an alcohol and carboxylic acid group and excess NaOH resulted in O-Na+ in both the OH of the alcohol and the OH of the carboxylic acid . Is that because phenols are also acidic ?
very helpful video, thank you! God Bless
Glad it was helpful!
3 hours before exam, I'll let you know if i get an A*. thanks alot mate.
iBsProds Good luck!!!

Fingers crossed! Thanks for letting me know
@@iBsProdsbeen a while, but howd you do man?

Hi, in base hydrolysis why is it only the carboxylic acid that forms a salt and not the alcohol as well? Many thanks :))
3 D Salts form when H+ of an acid is replaced by a metal ion. Alcohols don’t have an H+
So it's just because the NH2 group is a base and accepts the proton in acid hydrolysis?
Thank you!

@@fatmabatmaz2 yup
What makes the ester bonds break?
What would the dicarboxylate salt be called?
unfortunately no mechanisms for the reactions, only educts and products
