Cabolic acid is

Acid chloride acids are prepared by treating carboxylic acids with ________ .

What is source of following carboxylic acid :- (a)Acetic acid (b) Tartaric acid (c) citric acid (d)Methanoic acid

(A) : Formic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid . (R) : +1 groups decrease acidic nature of carboxylic acids.

Arrange the following carboxylic acids in order of increasing acidity. m-Nitrobenzoic acid, Trichloroacetic acid, benzoic acid, alpha-Chlorobutyric acid.

Statement 1 : Maleic acid is more acidic than fumaric acid Statement 2 : Highly branched acids are less acidic than unbranched acids.

Explain Why : (i) Carboxylic acids are stronger acids than alcohols. (ii) Carboxylic acids are stronger acids than phenols (iii) prop -chloropropionic acid is a stronger acid than beta -chloropropionic acid.

Mineral acids are stronger acids than carboxylic acids because (i) mineral acids are completely ionised. (ii) carboxylic acids are completely ionised. (iii) mineral acids are partially ionised. (iv) carboxylic acids are partially ionised.

Mineral acids are stronger acids than carboxylic acids because (i) mineral acids are completely ionised. (ii) carboxylic acids are completely ionised. (iii) mineral acids are partially ionised. (iv) carboxylic acids are partially ionised.

Write the structures and the IUPAC names of the following carboxylic acids. (i) Caporic acid , (ii) Pivalic acid (iii) gamma -Methylvaleric acid (iv) Sorbic acid , (v) Tartaric acid , (vi) Succinic acid

Justify : Trichloroacetic acid is a stronger acid than dichloroacetic acid (ii) Formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.
