Yes. Grignard reagents are extremely strong bases that deprotonates the carboxylic acid which then becomes a carboxylate.

Is oleic acid soluble in sodium hydroxide?
Yes it is, oleic acid (18 carbon Chain carboxylic acid) will react with the Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and produce a new metal salt carboxylic acid.
How will you synthesise ethyl bromide into propionic acid?
Convert the ethyl bromide into Grignard's reagent, ethyl magnesium bromide then allow to react with dry ice (Solid carbon dioxide) then acidic hydrolysis produces the propionic acid. CH3-Br + Mg --- anhydrous ether---> CH3-CH2-Mg-Br CH3-CH2-Mg-Br + CO2 ----H+/H2O---> CH3-CH2-COOH
How does rhyolite react to acid?
Rhyolite does not react with acid. Igneous rocks in general rarely react with acid.
Does tin react with citric acid?
Tin can not only react with citric acid, it can react with any acid.
Which one is more soluble in water phenol or sodium phenoxide ion?
Carboxylic acid.
How can you make a tertiary alcohol from a grignard reagent?
you react the grignard with either an ester, an acid chloride or a ketone to get a tertiary alchohol. if you react a grignard reagent with an aldehyde you get a secondary alcohol and if you react the grignard with formaldehyde (methenal) you get a primary alchohol. same thing happens if u use R-Li instead of a grignard reagant.
Is grignard reagent Lewis acid?
Yes
What is the Reaction with carboxylic acid and metal acids?
When carboxylic acid react with metal gives Salt and hydrogen
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.
Can you form a grignard reagent with 4-bromoaniline 4-bromobenzoic acid or 4-bromophenol when reacted with Mg in ether and why?
The grignard might form but the reagent prefers to act as a base and will undergo hydrolysis and be destroyerd before isolation in reaction with any compound containing OH groups
An amine and a carboxylic acid react to form water and?
Amide on heating.
Why biuret regent react with single amino acid?
The biuret reagent should not react with a single amino acid. The reagent reacts when there is a peptide bond linking amino acids together. If you are seeing the biuret reagent react in the presence of a single amino acid, then there must be some amino acids that are still linked together.
Is oleic acid soluble in sodium hydroxide?
Yes it is, oleic acid (18 carbon Chain carboxylic acid) will react with the Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and produce a new metal salt carboxylic acid.
What are the two functional groups that react to form nylon?
A carboxylic acid and an amine react to form nylon.
Carboxylic acid can be prepared by?
1- oxidation of alcohols or aldehydes, 2- hydrolysis of nitriles, 3- hydrolysis of esters, 4- reactions of Grignard's reagents with dry ice.
Does potassium oxide react with a carboxylic acid?
Yes, they react tor form water and the corresponding potassium carboxylate salt.
What is a bicinchoninate?
A bicinchoninate is any salt or ester of the quinoline carboxylic acid 2,2'-biquinoline-4,4-dicarboxylic acid; - the sodium salt of which is a colourimetric reagent used to detect proteins.
