How does metal reacts with carboxylic acid?
METAL REACTS WITH CARBOXYLIC ACID BY REPLACING THE HYDROGEN WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE OXYGEN ...FOR EXAMPLE: Na REACTS WITH ACETIC ACID Na+CH3COOH=CH3COONa however in the case of divalent metals for examle Mg the equation will b like Mg+2(CH3COOH)=Mg(CH3COO)2
Is HC2H3O2 ionic or covelant?
Write it as CH3COOH and it is obvious this a carboxylic acid- ethanoic or acetic acid. This is covalent but dissociates in water to give H+ (aq) and acetate ion.
What are the products of an ester and water?
An alcohol and a carboxylic acid salt (carboxylic acid if protonated at end of reaction).
Is formic acid an Aldehyde or a Carboxylic acid?
Formic acid is methanoic acid. A carboxylic acid.
