They're Carboxylic acids, COOH is the carboxyl group and R represents any carbon chain :)

Formula of organic acids?
The carboxyl group is ----COOH. An organic acid has the general formula of RCOOH.
What is the structural formula of synthesis of a fat?
Fats and oils are triesters, with a common formula CH2RCHR'CH2R" (where R, R' and R" are alkyl chains which may or may not be the same; they usually are). A fat can be made by mixing propan-1,2,3-triol (CH2OHCHOHCH2OH) with a carboxylic acid (RCOOH). The addition of concentrated sufuric acid greatly speeds the rate of production; the acid must be neutralised from the final product before it is handled. At the end, you will have a fat or oil.
Potassium carbonate should not be used as a drying agent for some organic compounds would it be better for use in drying an ether solution containing an acid RCOOH or a base RNH2and why?
NH2 potassium carbonate itself is basic so it will make water and a salt if mixed with acid NH2 potassium carbonate itself is basic so it will make water and a salt if mixed with acid
Equation for aldehyde plus Fehling's reagent?
RCHO + 2CuSO4 + 4NaOH ----> RCOOH + Cu2O + 2Na2SO4 + 2H2O
Do glycerol and fatty acids have an amino group?
no amino acid is not a fatty acid this is because of the following reasons 1- due to the difference of functional group i.e Amino acid has two functional groups one is amino group (-NH2) and other is carboxylic group (-COOH) while in fatty acid (-RCOOH) only carboxylic group are present. 2-Amino acid is the sub-unit of protein while Fatty acid is the sub-unit of lipids(FATS).

What you combine to produce an ester?
RCOOH + R'OH ---> ester + water
What is the equation for the oxidation of carbolic acid?
Rcooh+o2=co2+h2o
What is the function of sodium bicarbonate in esterification?
To remove the sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and carboxylic acid (RCOOH).
What is the reaction of soap with saturated sodium chloride?
Basically,when they are treated,then the following reaction takes place: RCOOH+NaOH-------RCOONa+H2O
What is the chemical formula for acid?
If it is inorganic acid then the acid needs to have at least one H+ donor or electron acceptor, like HCl which gives H+ and Cl- . If it is organic then it is RCOOH where R can be any organic compound for e.g. CH3COOH which is methanoic acid a weak acid. (Note: all organic acids are weak acids.)
what is the equation for this aldehyde plus acidified potassium permanganate aldehyde plus Tollen's reagent aldehyde plus NaOH Cannaizarro's reaction aldehyde plus Fehling's rgt aldehyde plus Sodium H?
the equation for this are? aldehyde + acidified potassium permanganate RCHO + 2KMnO4 + H2SO4 → RCOOH + K2SO4 + 2MnO2 ↓+ H20 aldehyde + Tollen's reagent RCHO + 2AgNO3 + 2NH4OH → RCOOH + 2Ag↓ + 2NH4NO3 +H2O aldehyde+ Fehling's reagent RCHO + 2CuSO4 + 4NaOH →RCOOH + Cu2O↓+ 2Na2SO4 + 2H2O THAT's ALL I KNOW aldehyde + Sodium Hydrogen Sulfite

What is the definition of esterification?
Generally it is the name of reaction which exist between alcohol and acid. the acid we commonly used is carboxylic acid. ester is formed during this reaction. R-OH + RCOOH ~ RCOOR + H 2 O
What is the chemical reactions between grignard reagent and carbon dioxide?
RMgX + CO2 -> RCOO- + MgX + The next step is to add acid and form the carboxy acid RCOO- + H+ -> RCOOH So a grignard plus CO2 makes a carboxy acid.
