Chapter 17.4, Problem 17.3P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equation for the reaction of acid in Example 17.3 with ammonia has to be written and the name of the carboxylic acid salt formed should be named.

Concept introduction:

Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl attached to a hydroxyl group as shown below,

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 17.4, Problem 17.3P , additional homework tip  1

Nomenclature of carboxylic acid:

  • Find the Parent hydrocarbon chain.
  • Carboxyl carbon must be numbered first.
  • Replace the –e in the alkane name with –oic acid.

Carboxylic acid reacts with ammonia gives neutral carboxylic salt.

Hexanoic acid is not soluble in water. However, when hexanoic acid is added to a solution of KOH, a soluble product forms. Draw the structural formulas for the reaction of hexanoic acid with KOH .
The esterification reaction of 1 mL each of 1-propanol and propanoic acid is catalyzed with 2-3 drops of sulfuric acid, which is then placed in a test tube in a hot-water bath. After 15 or more minutes, ice water was added. Propyl propanoate is formed. Write the complete equation for the reaction and describe the odor or 1-propanol, propanoic acid, and propyl propanoate.
When Sodium bicarbonate reacts with carboxylic acids to produce carbon dioxide, water, and the sodium salt of the acid. Since sodium salt is ionic, it makes it very water soluble. This shows why washing with the sodium bicarbonate removes the acid. In reactions like these, the hydrogen from the carboxylic acid group ends up being replaced with a sodium ion from the sodium bicarbonate. Write a balanced reaction showing the reaction described above and use the structure of the acidic ingredient when writing your reaction.
