The reaction between malonic acid and sodium hydroxide
Now there is malonic acid (Malonic Acid), and when it encounters sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the two meet and react (Malonic Acid NaOH Reaction). Malonic acid has the properties of diacid, sodium hydroxide, and strong base.

When the two are mixed, it is as if a guest is seated, and they follow in sequence. The carboxyl group of malonic acid, when it encounters the hydroxide of sodium hydroxide, the hydroxide is like the host of hospitality, and the hydrogen of the carboxyl group is welcome. The two combine to form water. Malonic acid dehydrogenates, leaving the acid group accompanied by sodium ions to form sodium malonate.

If the amount of sodium hydroxide is sufficient, the two carboxyl groups of malonate interact with hydroxide to remove hydrogen to form sodium malonate. This reaction, such as the combination of yin and yang, acid-base neutralization, heat generation, the properties of the solution gradually change, from acid to in. Looking at the process, the microscopic dance of particles, molecular disassembly, ion reunion, and then form a new substance, the wonder of chemical change.
