Tartaric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide

C₄H₆O₆ + 2NaOH → Na₂C₄H₄O₆ + 2H₂O

Tổng quan

Tartaric acid is a chiral diprotic acid naturally found in grapes that reacts with two equivalents of NaOH to form disodium tartrate. Sodium potassium tartrate (Rochelle salt) was one of the first piezoelectric crystals discovered. Tartaric acid's chirality was studied by Pasteur in his landmark optical activity research.
