Question

Write the reaction equation for the following reactions using the structural formulae of the compounds: (they are solubility/miscibility reactions)

2-naphthol + diethyl ether

sodium benzoate + NaOH

sodium benzoate + NaHCO₃

(The following are my answers, I am not sure if they are correct:

2-naphthol + diethyl ether: C₁₀H₇OH + (C₂H₅)₂O --> C₁₀H₇O^- + (C₂H₅)₂OH⁺

sodium benzoate + NaOH: C₆H₅COONa + NaOH --> C₆H₆ + Na₂CO₃

sodium benzoate + NaHCO₃: C₆H₅COONa + NaHCO₃ --> C₆H₅COOH + Na₂CO₃)

This is from my solubility lab, and it was said that sodium benzoate will dissolve in NaOH and NaHCO₃ by acid-base reaction.
