- 12. Give a reaction showing that benzoic acid behaves as an acid.arrow_forwardNOMENCLATURE, ANALYSIS & REACTIONSarrow_forwardWhich of the following statement is CORRECT about carboxylic acid? a. The direct conversion of a carboxylic acid to an amide is difficult due to amine basicity which tends to convert carboxylic acid to highly unreactive carboxylate ions. b. Carboxylic acids do not dissolve readily in water due to the non availability of the terminal hydrogen atom. c. Carboxylic acids are weak acids. The C=O push electron density towards the carbon so that hydrogen (H) is more easily lost. d. Carboxylic acids with more than six carbons are very soluble in water due to the presence of hydrogen bonding, but their conjugate base salts are sparingly water soluble.arrow_forward
