Is it easier to oxidize an alcohol or an aldehyde?
The oxidation product of an aldehyde will depend on whether the conditions are acidic or alkaline. The aldehyde will oxidize to a carboxylic acid if it is acidic. If it is alkaline, the aldehyde will form a salt because the acid would react.
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 vinegar a carboxylic acid?
Vinegar is ethanoic acid CH3COOH, so yes it is a carboxylic acid.
What happens to water solubility as chain length increases in carboxylic acid?
It decreases. And melting point increases.
What kind of acid is in soap?
carboxylic acid

Indicate how you might prepare pentanoic acid from 1-pentanol?
react it with dichromate in acidic medium. It will oxidize a primary alcohol all the way to a carboxylic acid.
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.
Is a sodium fatty acid salt the same as a carboxylic acid salt?
A fatty acid salt is a kind of carboxylic acid salt. But not all carboxylic acid salts are fatty acid salts.
Is vinegar a carboxylic acid?
Vinegar is ethanoic acid CH3COOH, so yes it is a carboxylic acid.
Why are carboxyl groups hydrophilic?
the carboxylic group normally came from carboxylic acid. Hence, the carboxylic acid is polar acid. and the polarity came from the carboxylic group for that it is hydrophilic group
What solution contains a carboxylic acid?
Vinegar is dilute acetic acid and thus contains a carboxylic acid.
What is the boiling point of acid?
It depends on witch carboxylic acid you mean, there are thousands carboxylic acids.
What happens to water solubility as chain length increases in carboxylic acid?
It decreases. And melting point increases.
What is the carboxylic acid in tamarind?
Tartaric acid
What kind of acid is in soap?
carboxylic acid
