Document Summary
R-cooh: carboxylic acids are regularly written as a -cooh , has a carbonyl, has what looks like a hydroxyl (alcohol) but is not really because of the carbonyl. Naming carboxylic acids- replace -e with oic acid. Lactic (sour milk)(cleopatra used to bathe in spoiled milk to perfect her skin) Boiling points (carboxylic acid -- carboxylic acid hydrogen bonding) Mass is doubled, so even a higher temperature is required to reach the boiling point. Remember from lab that phenol was acidic, carboxylic acids are more acidic than phenol. Neutralization of carboxylic acids-because they are weak acids, they can be neutralized by strong bases (naoh or koh) Write the balanced chemical equation for the dissociation of propanoic acid in water. Write the balanced chemical equation for the neutralization of propanoic acid with sodium hydroxide. Esterification ester produced from carboxylic acid and alcohol. Made from an alcohol and a carboxlyic acid so the name combines the two; therefore locate both in structure.
