Organic acids are compounds that donate protons (H⁺ ions) in a solution, typically containing a carboxyl group (-COOH), which makes them acidic. Organic bases, on the other hand, accept protons and often contain functional groups like amines (-NH₂). This fundamental difference in their ability to donate or accept protons defines their acidic or basic nature and influences their chemical behavior and reactivity in various contexts.

Is flammability a example of chemical property?
Yes, because it shows you the difference between an acid or a base. An of course its both an acid and a base?
Is sodium oxalate and acid or base?
Sodium oxalate is a salt formed from the neutralization reaction between oxalic acid (a weak organic acid) and sodium hydroxide (a strong base). Therefore, sodium oxalate is neither an acid nor a base; it is a salt.
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.

difference between acid base indicator and universal indicator
Is C2H4O2 weak or strong?
it is a non electrolyte C2H5OH is not a base, its an alcohol, ETHYL ALCOHOL so its just an alcohol
What are specific acid base catalysis reaction in physical organic?
dilute acid
How can you safely determine the difference between an acid or a base?
The DIFFERENCE ?! I think you mean distinguish an acid from a base, which needs an indicator, like red cabbage solution(turns yellowish with acid, darker with base) Phenolphtaline(Turns violet with a base) Red/Blue litmus paper(RLP turns blue with a base, and BLP turns red with an acid) and finally a pH meter/paper.
What is the difference between neutralization salt?
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base; this reaction is called neutralization reaction.
What is the difference between neutralization and salts?
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base; this reaction is called neutralization reaction.
Are mothballs an acid or a base?
Mothballs are neither an acid nor a base. They are usually composed of naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which are organic compounds with neutral pH.
Which is weakest base in organic and inorganic chemistry?
Weakest base is that which is strongest acid the latest research proves that strongest acid is a mixture HF.SbF5 Antimonic acid.
Is vinegar a strong base or weak base?
Not compared to other acids, but to a normal person, yes. Vinegar is a weak acid.
