Title: Benzene
Post by: vernii on December 16, 2022, 11:19:46 AM

Explain the reaction between benzene sulphonyl chloride and NaOH.

I am stuck at the point that HCl will release from the reaction i.e NaOH will give H+ but it is a base right? Then how?

NaOH will give H+

Please elaborate, apparently you are confusing something - NaOH will consume H⁺, not produce one.

Try carrying out the reaction between the two molecules.

I don't think HCl is a product of this reaction.
