Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids As the number of carbons in a carboxylic acid series becomes greater the boiling point increases and the solubility in water decreases Many carboxylic acids that are liquids at room temperature have characteristically sharp or unpleasant odors Ethanoic acid/acetic acid is the main ingredient in vinegar
16 6 Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids Carboxyl groups exhibit very strong hydrogen bonding A given carboxylic acid molecule form two hydrogen bonds to another carboxylic acid molecule producing a “dimer” a complex with a mass twice that of a single molecule Compounds with carboxyl groups have higher boiling points than alcohols
Carboxylic acids react with bases but only strong bases completely remove the proton (hydrogen ion) from the acid group The resulting carboxylate ion is then a weak base When a strong acid is added to a solution containing carboxylate ions the acid protonates it regenerating the parent carboxylic acid RCO2H + OH- ® RCO2- + H2O
17 1 Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives: Properties and Names Caboxylic acids have an –OH group bonded to a carbonyl group In their derivatives OH is substituted by other group Such as Esters have a –OR group bonded to a carbonyl group Amides have an –NH2 group bonded to a carbonyl group
Experiment #10 – Propertiesof Carboxylic Acids and Esters Carboxylic acids are characterized by the carboxyl groupwhich combines the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones withthe hydroxyl group of alcohols and phenols Since the carbonyl andhydroxyl groups are directly bonded to each other each affects theproperties of the other
3 Physical properties of carboxylic acids Carboxylic acids are the most polar functional group we have seen so far The presence of the carbonyl group next to the OH causes the O-H bond to be even more polar alcohols carboxylic acids Physical properties of carboxylic acids Because of the very polar –COOH group carboxylic acids exhibit strong
