Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Chemical equation for the preparation of given
Concept Introduction:
The name of the carboxylic acid itself implies that it is acidic. Addition of carboxylic acid to water results in ionization. Hydrogen ion transfer occurs from carboxylic acid to water and hydronium ion is formed. Carboxylate ion is also formed due to the loss of hydrogen ion from carboxylic acid.
Carboxylate ion is the negative ion which is formed when one or more acidic protons are lost from carboxylic acid. Similar to carboxylic acid it reacts with strong base to form carboxylic acid salt and water.
Carboxylic acid forms carboxylic acid salt by reacting with a strong base. The general reaction scheme for the formation of carboxylic acid salt is given as shown below,
This is similar to the reaction of inorganic acids with base.
(b)
Interpretation:
Chemical equation for the preparation of given carboxylic acid salt using acid‑base neutralization reaction has to be given.
