C4H6O6 + 2NaOH -----> Na2C4H4O6 + 2H2O
Neutralisation reactions give H2O + a salt
HO2C.CH(OH).CH(OH).CO2H this is a diprotic acid that means it loses 2 hydrogens in exchange for 2 sodiums. It loses the end Hydrogens (the others stay as OH alcohol groups). This is Tartaric acid.
Balance each element on both sides
C - 4 , H - 8, O - 8 , Na - 2
