Formula of organic acids?
The carboxyl group is ----COOH. An organic acid has the general formula of RCOOH.
When hydrochloride behave as an acid?
When it's mixed with a base
How does H2C6H6O6 behave as an acid in water?
H2C6H6O6+ H2O-----> H3O^+ + HC6H6O6^-Also Ascorbic acid is a diprotic acid.
Does nitric acid behave as a base?
Sounds unlikely, since it's an acid, therefore can't be a base which is by definition the opposite of an acid.
When is a chemical most likely to behave as an acid?
Acid is a major chemical that behaves both as an acid and as a base. Another chemical would be KOH.
What is the function of sodium bicarbonate in esterification?
To remove the sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and carboxylic acid (RCOOH).
What is the equation for the oxidation of carbolic acid?
Rcooh+o2=co2+h2o
Formula of organic acids?
The carboxyl group is ----COOH. An organic acid has the general formula of RCOOH.
What is the definition of esterification?
Generally it is the name of reaction which exist between alcohol and acid. the acid we commonly used is carboxylic acid. ester is formed during this reaction. R-OH + RCOOH ~ RCOOR + H 2 O
What is the chemical reactions between grignard reagent and carbon dioxide?
RMgX + CO2 -> RCOO- + MgX + The next step is to add acid and form the carboxy acid RCOO- + H+ -> RCOOH So a grignard plus CO2 makes a carboxy acid.
Can a chemical behave as an acid and a base?
yes.
When hydrochloride behave as an acid?
When it's mixed with a base
How does H2C6H6O6 behave as an acid in water?
H2C6H6O6+ H2O-----> H3O^+ + HC6H6O6^-Also Ascorbic acid is a diprotic acid.
What is the chemical formula for acid?
If it is inorganic acid then the acid needs to have at least one H+ donor or electron acceptor, like HCl which gives H+ and Cl- . If it is organic then it is RCOOH where R can be any organic compound for e.g. CH3COOH which is methanoic acid a weak acid. (Note: all organic acids are weak acids.)
What you combine to produce an ester?
RCOOH + R'OH ---> ester + water
How do acids behave in water solution?
it acts as a weak acid.
Does nitric acid behave as a base?
Sounds unlikely, since it's an acid, therefore can't be a base which is by definition the opposite of an acid.
