- Carboxylic Acids
- Reactions
- React with carbonates to produce asalt, water and CO2
- The salts first name is the metal then acid-oate
- ethanoic acid + sodium carbonate makes sodium ethanoate + H2O + CO2
- dissolve in water
- don't full ionise as not all the acid molecules release their H+ ions
- form weak acidic solutions
- don't full ionise as not all the acid molecules release their H+ ions
- Differences table.
- Esters
- Functional group COO
- have fruity smells
- fats and oils are naturally occuring esters
- Are only formed from an alcohol and carboxylic acid.
- Alcohol + Carboxylic Aicd makes ester + water
- acid catalyst used like sulfuric acid
- Know Example: ethanol and ethanoic acid makes ethyl ethanoate and water ( acid catalyst used).
- Functional group COO
- Made
- made by oxidising ethanol
- Basic info
- COOH functional group
- Names end is anoic acid
- Reactions
