Give the expected organic product when 3-phenylpropanoic, PhCH2CH2COOH , is treated with NaOH, H20 .If more than one product is possible, only draw the major product. Include counter-ions, e. g., Na+, I-, in your submission, but draw them in their own separate sketcher. Separate structures with + signs from the dropdown menu.

when 3-phenylpropanoic, PhCH₂CH₂COOH , is treated with NaOH, H₂0 it produce sodium salt of 3 - phenylpropanoic acid with water as a major product.

Explanation:

Carboxylic acid when treated with a base like NaOH or KOH gives carboxylate ion because H⁺ from acid reacts with OH⁻ from base gives H₂0 and salt of sodium carboxylate.

The mechanism of the above reaction given below

since electrons are negative the answer is neagtaive
