What is an alkanoate?
An alkanoate is any salt or ester of an alkanoic acid.
What product is formed by the combustion of an ester?
Alkanol plus alkanoic acid
Why are alkanols and alkanoic acid soluble in water?
They are soluble in water as the functional group (-OH for alkanols and -COOH for alkanoic acids) make each of the molecules polar and can therefore form a bond with water.
Is ethanol acid an organic acid?
Ethanoic acid(acetic acid) present in vinegar. It is a weak acid. The 2nd member of alkanoic acid(carboxylic acid). It turns moist blue litmus paper into red.
Reaction between alcohol and fehling's solution?
a red precipitate is formed which indicates the presence of aldehyde.

Meaning of esterification?
esterification is the formation of esters between the reaction of alkanol and alkanoic acid

What type of reaction has takin place when an ester is broken down to an alkanoic acid and alkanol?
The parent carboxylic acid and the parent alcohol can be obtained by hydrolysis of an ester. Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a molecule is split up by the chemical action of water. The breakdown of an ester is an example of hydrolysis because water is used to separate the ester into alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
What is alkanoic?
An organic molecule with the functional group O=C−O. This is also known as an ester.
What is poly-beta-hydrobutyrate?
<biochemistry> A common storage material of prokaryotic cells consisting of a polymer of beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) or other beta-alkanoic acids (PHA).
What is the difference between a hydrolysis and neutralization reaction?
Esterification involves the reaction between an alkanol and alkanoic acid while neutralization involves an acid and a base.2. Esterification produces ester and water as product while neutralization produces salt and water only. 3. Esterification is a reversible reaction while neutralization is not.Esterification occurs in the presence of a mineral acid which act as a catalyst and also a as a dehydrating agent while neutralization can occur without been in the presence of a mineral acid.
What are the four most important industrial acids?
Sulfuric acid, Hydrochloric acid, Nitric acid, Phosphoric Acid
What are some examples that would be considered an acid?
Some examples that would be considered an acid: sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, perchloric acid, boric acid, periodic acid, salicilic acid, stearic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, etc.
