Hi, what would be the structure of the zwitterion if 4-chloroaniline and benzoic acid reacted together. And would it be soluble or insoluble in water?
The zwitterion formed from the combination of 4-chloroaniline and benzoic acid is soluble in water.
Yes, it can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol or acetone.
The solubility is due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the polar functional groups of the zwitterion and the water molecules.
Yes, the solubility can be affected by pH. At lower pH levels, the zwitterion may protonate and become less soluble in water.
The zwitterion is generally considered to be stable under normal conditions. However, it may undergo hydrolysis or other reactions in certain conditions.
