a) Sodium hydroxide solubility test Draw the structure for a phenol and for a carboxylic acid. Write the equation for the reaction of these compounds with aqueous sodium hydroxide and explain why the compounds would be soluble in sodium hydroxide solution but insoluble in water. The compound should be 15 carbon atoms. b) Sodium hydrogen carbonate test Write the equation for the reaction of each compound from part a with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate. One of the reactions you wrote favors reactants, and one favors products. Explain in detail why one reaction favors reactants and one favors products, and how this difference could be used in solubility tests to distinguish carboxylic acids from phenols.. The compound should be 15 carbon atoms.

Explain why effervescence is produced for some basic compounds when made to react with carboxylic acid.
Are carboxylic acids or carboxylate ions more acidic? I'm confused about the terms and how to determine the acidity. Here is my current understanding: Carboxylic acids have the ability to donate a hydrogen ion and become deprotonated, therefore it is acidic. Carboxylate ions are already deprotonated and have already become acidic. Is this correct?

There are compounds called carboxylic acids that are composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. An example of a carboxylic acid is acetic acid, better known as vinegar. Another is formic acid which is the characteristic sour odor of ants (and is why formic acid is called formic acid (it comes from insects in the Formicidae (i.e., ants) family)). The thing about carboxylic acids is that in general they smell bad. *Really* bad. The characteristic smell of vomit (and rancid butter) is 2 methyl-butyric acid. Caproic, capric, and caprillic acids all share the common word root of Capricorn, which is for goats, so you can imagine what those three acids smell like. In contrast, things that are ionic tend not to smell. Salt, NaCl, for example, has little odor unless you have fancy salt with spices or herbs infused into it. Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, or baking soda) or tri-sodium phosphate (Na3PO4, which is used as a cleaning agent) also have little odor. The reason for this is a compound has an…
