Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structural formula of propanoate ion has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The name of the
Carboxylate ion is the negative ion which is formed when one or more acidic protons are lost from carboxylic acid.
Carboxylate ions are named from the parent acid by replacing the suffix “-ic acid” with “-ate”.
(b)
Interpretation:
Structural formula of sodium propanoate has to be drawn.
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.
Carboxylate ions are named from the parent acid by replacing the suffix “-ic acid” with “-ate”.
(c)
Interpretation:
Structural formula of acetate ion has to be drawn.
