Which of these functional groups is soluble in aqueous HCl and/or NaOH? Functional groups don't have solubility. Their presence in a compound, however, can have an effect on solubility. My approach before was this : Esters do not dissolve in cold aqueous bases or acids, nor do amides or alcohols.
Do esters react with NaOH?
Esters are hydrolyzed by strong alkalis such as NaOH(aq) or KOH(aq). As products, sodium salt of carboxylic acid and an alcohol are given. ... But produced carboxylic acid reacts with strong alkali to form carboxylic acid salt. Therefore carboxylic acid reacts with NaOH or KOH to give sodium salt of carboxylic acid.
What happens when ester reacts with NaOH?
When ester is react with Sodium Hydroxide, Glycerol (Ethanol) and a Sodium salt of Carboxylic Acid (Sodium Ethanoate) is formed.
