It depends upon solvent with respect to water, alkenes are not soluble. Carboxylic Acid are soluble but they become less soluble as the chain length increases due to the longer non-polar hydrocarbon chain which can't form hydrogen bonds with water.

What is the odor produced when carboxylic acid and alcohol is mixed?
This question needs to be more specific - when a carboxylic acid and an alcohol are reacted (usually in the presence of a dehydrating agent, e.g. conc. sulfuric acid), the major product is generally an ester.Esters can have a variety of odours depending on the identity of the carboxylic acid and alcohol. The odour relates to the volatility of the ester, which allows its to be breathed into the nasal passage, and to structural complementarity between the molecule and receptors in the olfactory bulb.I've found a list of common esters and their odours at the bottom of this web page:http://www.3rd1000.com/chem301/chem301v.htmI'm sure that many other sites have more extensive information than this.
A mixture of camphor and benzoic acid can be easily separated by?
Benzoic acid is more soluble than camphor in ethanol. The solution can be filtrated.
Why salicylate is more soluble than salicylic acid?
I assume you mean in water. Salicylate is a salt of salicylic acid. An organic salt is (pretty much) always more soluble in water than its non-salt counterpart. Water is polar, like dissolves like, etc.
Is sulphur soluble in carbon tetrachloride?
yes it will because carbon tetracholride has more dence than sulfuric acid
Does the pH of carboxylic acid decreases when water is added to it?
Will carboxylic acid when added to water lower the pH of the water? Carboxylic acid is a misnomer. Below is equation for the dissociation of citric acid when dissolved in water into 3 H3O+1 ions and 1 C6H5O7-1 ion H3C6H5O7 + 3 H2O = 3 H3O+1 + C6H5O7-1 Organic acids are carboxylic acids because they have one of more carboxyl groups attached to an organic molecule such as citric acid. The formula is H3C6H5O7. The structure is shown below. A carboxyl group has a carbon atom with an O double bonded to it and an O-H single bonded to it. Do you see 3 of carboxyl groups on the structure below? The H attached to the single bonded O is the acid H. These 3 H+1 ions will bond to 3 water molecules forming the 3 hydronium ions. pH measures the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. pH = - log [H3O+1] ( negative log of hydronium concentration) The more H3O+1 ions, the higher the pH. ..………..….…..H …………..….....! ………...H…....O..H ………....!.......!...!

Which one is more soluble in water phenol or sodium phenoxide ion?
Carboxylic acid.
Is alkene more water soluble then aldehyde?
Yes
On the basis of resonance Why carboxylic acids show acidic property?
carboxylic acids are more stronger acids this is because in the resonance stabilisation of carboxylic acid the electron density is more pronounced in two oxygen atoms also in the reaction of carboxylic acid with an alkali ; for eg; sodium hydroxide it can donate lone pair of electron to a higher base hence it act as a Lewis acid>.
Acetic acid is weaker than oxalic acid?
Yes, Acetic acid is a mono carboxylic acid while Oxalic acid is dicarboxylic acid, due to two proton donating ability of oxalic acid and high polarity in molecule make it more soluble in water so it produces a large no of hydrogen ions in solution as compare to acetic acid.
What is more reduced lactic or pyruvic acid?
Pyruvic acid is more reduced than lactic acid. This is because yruvic acid contains carboxylic acid and a ketone to oxaloacetate.
Does ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?
The question should be: Is ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?Yes because it has less carbons. Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid is fully miscible.
Why is citric acid more soluble than salt and sugar?
salt is actually soluble than citric acid and sugar
What is the difference between phenol and carboxylic acid?
The release of the H+ ion or (the proton) is much easier in the carboxylic acid as the Phenoxide ion is more electron dense than the Carboxy ion. this is because of to the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom delocalising into the benzene pi ring activating the ring and making the phenoxide ion more electron dense make in it harder for it to donate a proton. on the coboxy ion the negative charge is Shared between the two oxygen's making it less electron dense. Making it easier for the carboxylic acid to donate a proton making it a stronger acid.
Are all bases soluble more specifically is H3BO3 soluble?
No, only alkalies, the bases of Ist group of periodic table are soluble in water, H3BO3 is an acid Boric acid and it is insoluble in water.
What is the chemical name of vitamin B3?
The vitamin B3 is nicotinic acid (or more correct pyridine-3-carboxylic acid) with the chemical formula C6H5NO2.
What is ch3ch2ch2cooh?
It's a Carboxylic acid attached to a propyl group.In this case, the systematic/IUPAC name is Butanoic Acidor more commonly Butyric acid.
Is sulfuric acid stronger than carboxylic acid?
Acidity is partly determined by its stability of its conjugate base. Once the acid is deprotonated, it is left with a negative charge. Molecules with double bonded oxygens can participate in resonance, which would spread its negative charge over a larger space. Since sulfonic acid has two double bonded oxygens and carboxylic acids only have one, sulfonic acid is more acidic.
