18-26 Answer true or false.

(a) Carboxylic acids are weak acids compared to mineral acids such as HCI, H2SO4, and HNO3.

(b) Phenols, alcohols, and carboxylic acids have in common the presence of an —OH group.

(c) Carboxylic acids are stronger acids than alcohols but weaker acids than phenols.

(d) The order of acidity of the following carboxylic acids is:

Chapter 17, Problem 23P, 18-26 Answer true or false. (a) Carboxylic acids are weak acids compared to mineral acids such as , example  1

(e) The order of acidity of the following carboxylic acids is:

Chapter 17, Problem 23P, 18-26 Answer true or false. (a) Carboxylic acids are weak acids compared to mineral acids such as , example  2

(f) The reaction of benzoic acid with aqueous sodium hydroxide gives sodium benzoate.

(g) A mixture of the following compounds is extracted in order with (1) 1 M HCI, (2) 1 M NaOH, and (3) diethyl ether. Only compound II is extracted into the basic layer.

Chapter 17, Problem 23P, 18-26 Answer true or false. (a) Carboxylic acids are weak acids compared to mineral acids such as , example  6

(k) Thermal decarboxylation of this (-ketoacid gives 2-pentanone and carbon dioxide.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which carbocation is more stable?
Are the products of the given reaction correct?  Why or why not?
The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products.  I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products.  That's the opposite of what the question was asking.  Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates").  In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
