Explain why the carbonyl oxygen in the acid-base protonation reaction of acetic acid preferentially gets protonated over the hydroxyl group in the acetic acid?

Due to double bond carbonyl oxygen is less hindered as compare to hydoxyl oxygen, therefore its electron pairs are easily available for proton.

What function group is found in an aldehyde?
Carbonyl
Is carbonyl polar?
Carbonyl is moderately polar. Carbonyl is found in organic chemistry and is a group that is composed of atoms and carbons.
What is the metal carbonyl?
A metal attached to Carbonyl(-CO) ligand(s)
What is a carbonyl esters group?
In the field of organic chemistry a carbonyl group consists of carbon atoms double bonded with some oxygen atoms. However, Carbonyl Esters consists of carbonyl group influenced by different alkyl groups.
Does ethanol contains the carbonyl group?
No. Ethanol contains a hydroxyl group, but not a carbonyl group.
When protonation occurs with carboxylic acid why does the H plus cation go to the carbonyl oxygen?
The positive charge given to the carbonyl Oxygen can be delocalized onto the alcohol oxygen through resonance. This spreads the charge out and makes the species more stable.
What function group is found in an aldehyde?
Carbonyl
What is a name of a key functional group found in carbohydrates?
carbonyl group
Is carbonyl polar?
Carbonyl is moderately polar. Carbonyl is found in organic chemistry and is a group that is composed of atoms and carbons.
What is the metal carbonyl?
A metal attached to Carbonyl(-CO) ligand(s)
Does carbonyl groups contain nitrogen?
no,carbonyl group consist of carbon and oxygen
How types of functional carbon group?
The term carbonyl can also refer to carbon monoxide as a ligand in an inorganic or organometallic complex (a metal carbonyl, e.g. nickel carbonyl). A carbonyl group characterizes the following types of compounds.
What is a carbonyl esters group?
In the field of organic chemistry a carbonyl group consists of carbon atoms double bonded with some oxygen atoms. However, Carbonyl Esters consists of carbonyl group influenced by different alkyl groups.
Does ethanol contains the carbonyl group?
No. Ethanol contains a hydroxyl group, but not a carbonyl group.
Is carbonyl chloride or phosgene gas organic?
Yes. Carbonyl chloride or phosgene of COCl2 is organic.
What element make up the carbonyl group?
A carbonyl group is a carbon-oxygen double bond.
What is the carbonyl group present at the end of a molecule will make the molecule?
The carbonyl group, -COOH, makes a molecule acidic.
