Document Summary
Carboxylic acids: carbonyl group and hydroxyl group, can be aliphatic and aromatic, properties are: Greater than 8 carbons and all aromatics are solid. H-bonding occurs at lower temperatures in water. Miscibility/solubility with water decreases with carbon number until greater than 9 carbons where the compound is insoluble. Varies depending on length of chain and substituting groups. Mineral oil substitute low friction surfaces, used in cosmetics as wash and go type shampoos some are thought to be carcinogenic. Alcohols oh group: primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols depend on how many alkyl groups are attached to the hydroxyl, whether it is -ol, -diol or -triol matters on how many hydroxyls there are, properties are: Polar molecules h-bonding associated with them. Flammable; high alcohols and triols are used in cosmetics. Glycerol is a by-product of soap industry. Esters: product of alcohol and acid; fats are generally tri-esters derived from glycerol and fatty acid, properties are:
