9. based on your work with benzoic acid, show the reaction between salicylic acid and potassium hydroxide. label the acid, base, conjugate acid and conjugate base.

Explanation:

Salicylic Acid:

Salicylic Acid is an hydroxy acid that is found as a natural compound in plants.  It's IUPAC name is 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. Salicylic acid has an odorless white to light tan solid color. It sinks and mixes very slow with water.

Acid:  An acid is a substance that produce hydrogen ion or proton when dissolved in water

Base: A base is a substance that will neutralize an acid to yield salt and  water

Conjugate Base: This is a substance formed when an acid loses an hydrogen ion or proton when it dissolved in water.

Conjugate Acid: This is a substance formed when a base accept a proton from from any acid, when it dissolved in water.

Reaction between salicylic acid and potassium hydroxide

HOC₆H₄COOH(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇄ HOC₆H₄COOK(aq) + H₂O(l)

Acid ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOH (salicylic acid)

Base ⇒ KOH (potassium hydroxide)

Conjugate acid ⇒ H₂O (water)

conjugate base ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOK (  2-hydroxypotasium benzoate)

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.
