alcohol aldehyde ketone Which of the following is an electrolyte? • CH3OH • CH3COOH • CH2O • C3H6O Correct answer is B, the carboxylic acid
Correct answer is D, an alcohol Which of the following is a nonelectrolyte? • HCl • CH3COOH • NaOH • CH3OH
Properties of Carboxylic Acids • H bonded to O therefore hydrogen bonds • Leads to ↑ BP over corresponding alkane • pretty soluble in water
Naming Carboxylic Acids • Never needs number: • functional group always at end • Find name corresponding hydrocarbon • Drop -e & add -oic + acid
O 1 C methane Methanoic acid Sting in red ants, bees H HCCOH H = Ethanoic Acid Acetic acid 2 C ethane = HCOH O
CH3CH2CH2CH2COOH 5 C’s pentane so the name is pentanoic acid
Common carboxylic acids • Acetic acid – vinegar • produced in doughs leavened with specific yeast (ex: sourdough bread) • Citric acid • Tannic acid • Ascorbic acid • Lactic acid • Poly(lactic acid) – biodegradable polymers used as sutures in internal surgery
