- carboxylic acids
- industry
- longer chains of carbon atoms- soaps and detergents
- preparation of esters
- ethanoic acids- solvent for organic molecules but makes solution acidic
- acids
- ethanoic acid made by oxidising ethanol. microbes e.g yeast make ethanol ferment. ethanol oxidised by using oxidising agents
- ethanoic acid- dissolved in water- makes vinegar. used for flavouring + preserving foods.
- citric acid- in oranges/ lemons. to make fizzy drinks/ get rid of scale
- reactions
- react with carbonates to produce a salt, water and co2
- dissolve in water to produce acidic solutions. When dissolve will ionise + release H+ ions. Make solution acidic
- don't ionise completely so form weak acidic solutions. so have higher ph (less acidic) than aq solutions of same concentration
- dissolve in water to produce acidic solutions. When dissolve will ionise + release H+ ions. Make solution acidic
- salts formed in reactions end in -anote
- ethanoic acid + sodium carbonate -> sodium ethanoate + water + carbon dioxide
- react with carbonates to produce a salt, water and co2
- -anoic acid
- -COOH functional group
- industry
