What Class of organic compound with less than five carbon atoms dissolves in water to form a slightly acidic solution?
These organic substances are called amines.
Why the melting point of carboxylic acids with even carbon number are greater than odd carbon number carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids with odd number carbon atoms are packed in crystals less efficiently than those that have even numbers.
What is the acid part of an amino acid?
An acidic acid is something with a pH of less than 7.0. Actually this term is used for Amino acids having carboxylic groups higher than amino groups.
What is formed when HCL is added to soap?
Soap contains the sodium salts of a mixture of long chain carboxylic acids (typically 12-16 carbon atoms). The acids are less water soluble than the salts and precipitate when soap solution is acidified.
How do you determine if an compound is acidic or basic?
Acids have a pH of less than 7 and bases have a pH greater than 7

To make an organic molecule less acidic what functional groups should be added to the molecule in order to do so?
carboxylic acid and its derivatives

Why are esters compounds also called derivatives of carboxylic acid?
Not all esters are derivatives of carboxilic acid, they could also be derivatives of phosphoric, sulphuric or carbonic (etc.) acids. However, they are called derivatives of 'X' acid because they are formed by reacting an oxoacid ('X') with a hydroxyl compound (alcohol or phenol). See the related link and related question for more information about how esters are synthesized.
How is an acid indicated on the pH scale?
Acids have a pH less then 7, the lower the pH the more acidic the substance is.-
The pH of acids and bases?
7.0 is neutral. Less than 7.0 is acidic. More than 7.0 is basic/alkaline.
How do you determine if an compound is acidic or basic?
Acids have a pH of less than 7 and bases have a pH greater than 7
What is a concentrated mineral acid?
Mineral acids are non-organic acids. Sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric, and phosphoric acids are probably the most important commercially, though they're certainly not the only mineral acids. "Concentrated" generally means "the standard purity supplied by manufacturers." This varies quite a bit depending on the exact acid; it can be nearly pure (sulfuric or nitric acids), somewhat less so (phosphoric acid, typically about 70%), or quite a bit less (hydrochloric acid at around 38% or so).
What pH numbers do acids have?
Solutions with a pH less than 7 are said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are alkaline.
What chemical symbol represents an acid?
There is no particular symbol for acids. Different acids have different formulae. But sometimes to show that a reaction is taking place in acidic medium, the sign of H+ is used because all acids give H+ ion.
