General equation for carboxylic acid reactions
RCOOH ⇌ H⁺ + RCOO⁻
Acid + carbonate reaction
Carbonate+ acid → salt + CO₂ + water
What are the acid + NH₃ products
RCOONH
what type of acids are carboxylic acids
weak acids (⇌ for partial dissociates)
what are acids
proton donors
what is carbon 1 in a carboxylic acid
carbon attached to the COOH
naming carboxylic acids ( image)
state carbon chain then add a dioic acid

How to name 2 COOH groups ( image)
Add dioic acid

Why are carboxylic acids soluble
They can form hydrogen bonds with H₂O

Name this molecule
Benzene-1,2-dioic acid
Name of benzene with 1 COOH group
Benzoic acid
Trend of carboxylic acid solubility
Longer the carbon chain the less soluble
More of the non polar carbon skeleton
What are the first 4 carboxylic acid solubility
Dissolve completely in water ( they are misible)
name of ion formed when ethanoic acid dissociates
ethanoate ion → CH₃COO⁻
name of benzoic acid dissociation ( image)

How do carboxylic acids react
Dissociate into a carboxylate ion and H⁺
general reactions of carboxylic acids
carboxylic acid + metal→ salt + H₂
carboxylic acids + carbonate → Salt + CO₂ + H₂O
carboxylic acids + Base → salt + H₂O
what is the salt that carboxylic acids forms
carboxylate ion + metal ion
methanoic acid + mg →
2HCOOH + Mg →(HCOO⁻)₂Mg + H₂
structure of a ester ( image)

naming esters
prefix comes from alcohol ( alkyl)
suffix comes from carboxyl acid ( ends in oate)

name this ester

what are the 3 ways to make a ester
carboxyl acid + alcohol → ester + H₂O
acid anhydride + alcohol → ester + carboxylic acid
Acyl chloride + alcohol → ester + HCl
conditions for esterification ( alcohol + carboxylic acid)
conc H₂SO₄
Heat
what happens during esterification
alcohol loses OH
carboxylic acid loses H
H₂O formed
what type of reaction is esterification
condensation reaction
esterification image

reactants of forming acid anhydrides
carboxylic acid + carboxylic acid
what is a acid anhydride
2 carboxylic acids joined together due to elimination of H₂O
acid anhydride forming ( Image)

structural formula of acid anhydrides
( identical R group)₂O
(R₁)(R₂)O
how do acid anhydrides form
esters
acid anhydrides + alcohol → esters + carboxylic acid
acid anhydride + alcohol reaction explained
alcohol ( hydroxyl group) loses H
carboxylic acid formed is R group gains H
how to name acid anhydrides
number of carbon in R group ( if 3)
propanoic anhydride
acid anhydride forming ester image

does making esters using acid anhydrides require catalyst
doesn’t require conc H₂SO₄

products of acyl chloride + alcohol / phenol word equation
acyl chloride + alcohol → ester + HCl
products of acyl chloride + alcohol / phenol symbol equation
R - COCL + R-OH → R -COO-R + HCl
advantages of using a acyl chloride to make a ester
