Carboxylic acid salts are compounds that possess a negative charge on the carboxyl group due to removal of acidic proton. The carboxylate ion that is negative charge and the positive ion are present as separate entity.
Esters are compounds that contains carboxyl group in which the oxygen atom bonded to the carbonyl group is bonded to another carbon atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
Sodium succinate has to be classified as an ester or carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid salt.
Concept Introduction:
Carboxylic acids are compounds that contains carboxyl group in it. Carboxyl group is the functional group of carboxylic acid.
Carboxylic acid salts are compounds that possess a negative charge on the carboxyl group due to removal of acidic proton. The carboxylate ion that is negative charge and the positive ion are present as separate entity.
