(a)
Interpretation: The equation for the reaction of acid in Example 17.3 with ammonia has to be written and the name of the
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl attached to a hydroxyl group as shown below,
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.
