1) The reaction between 1-butanoic acid (CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) would result in the formation of a calcium salt of butanoic acid and water. The chemical equation for this reaction is:
2) The reaction between 1-butanoic acid (CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH) and aluminum (Al) would not result in a single reaction as written. Aluminum is a metal and typically does not react with carboxylic acids like butanoic acid. It would be more likely for the aluminum to undergo displacement reactions with other compounds in the system.
