This reaction involves a base (NaOH) and an acid (HCl), so it's a neutralization reaction, which is a special type of double-displacement reaction. Follow this procedure to write balanced molecular equations for double displacement reactions, when you know only the formulas of the reactants:
1 Since the pKa of an aldehyde is close to that of NaOH, both enolate and aldehyde are present simultaneously. 2  The products of these reactions are Î²-hydroxyaldehydes or aldehyde-alcohols = aldols.  The simplest aldol reaction is the condensation of ethanal.
