Chapter Overview
Carboxylic acids are an important family of organic compounds that contain the carboxyl functional group, -COOH. They show acidic properties because they can release hydrogen ions in aqueous solution. Ethanoic acid, also called acetic acid, is one of the most common carboxylic acids and is present in vinegar.
This chapter explains the preparation of acetic acid or ethanoic acid and the reactions of carboxylic acids as acids. Students learn how carboxylic acids react with metals, bases, carbonates and bicarbonates to form salts and other products.
The chapter also explains esterification, which is the reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohols to form esters. Esters are useful in perfumes, flavourings and industries because many of them have pleasant fruity smells. For board preparation, students should focus on definitions, functional groups, reactions, equations, uses and daily-life applications.
