Is CH3COOH a strong base?

NO!!!! CH3COOH is the formula for the carboxylic acid Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid. it has a pH of about 3 or 4. The IUPAC organisation have drawn up standards for organic formulae. For Carboxylic( Weak / Fatty) acids always have the formula R-COOH . The 'R' being the rest of the molecule. Structurally, the 'C' has four bonds. A single bond to the 'R'. A double bond to one oxygen, and a single bond to the other oxygen , which in turn has a single bond to the hydrogen . In 2-dimension it is displayed as R-C(=O)-O-H. The 'H' dissociates to form 'H^(+)' the acid ion. It does not dissociate as 'O-H^(-). the hydroxide ion.

Why is CH3COOH is monobasic acid?

CH3COOH (acetic acid) is considered a monobasic acid because it can donate only one proton (H+) per molecule in a chemical reaction. This means that it has only one hydrogen atom that can dissociate, forming one hydronium ion (H3O+) in solution.

What is the conjugate base of CH3COOH?

The conjugate base of CH3COOH is CH3COO-. This forms when CH3COOH loses a proton (H+).


What is the equation which converts an organic acid into a salt and water only?

The equation involves a neutralization reaction between an organic acid and a base. The general equation is: Organic acid + base -> salt + water. For example, when acetic acid (CH3COOH) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the equation is: CH3COOH + NaOH -> CH3COONa + H2O.
