- 18-28 Arrange these compounds in order of increasing acidity: benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol, phenol.arrow_forward18-6 Name and draw structural formulas for the four carboxylic acids with the molecular formula C5H10O2. Which of these carboxylic acids are chiral?arrow_forward18-31 Formic acid is one of the components responsible for the sting of biting ants and is injected under the skin by bee and wasp stings. The pain can be relieved by rubbing the area of the sting with a paste of baking soda (NaHCO3) and water, which neutralizes the acid. Write an equation for this reaction.arrow_forward
- 18-19 The following compounds have approximately the same molecular weight: hexanoic acid, heptanal, and 1-heptanol. Arrange them in order of increasing boiling point.arrow_forward2 (Chemical Connections 19A) Locate the ester group in pyrethrin I and draw a structural formula for chrysanthemic acid, the carboxylic acid from which this ester is derived.arrow_forward18-48 4-Aminobenzoic acid is prepared from benzoic acid by the following two steps. Show reagents and experimental conditions to bring about each step.arrow_forward
- 18-29 Complete the equations for these acid—base reactions. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)arrow_forward18-47 Methylparaben and propylparaben are used as preservatives in foods, beverages, and cosmetics. Show how each of these preservatives can be prepared from 4-aminobenzoic acid.arrow_forward18-15 Draw a structural formula for the dimer formed when two molecules of formic acid interact by hydrogen bonding.arrow_forward
- 7 What type of structural feature do the anhydrides of phosphoric acid have in common with carboxylic acids?arrow_forward17-35 Suppose that you take a bottle of benzaldehyde (a liquid, bp 179°C) from a shelf and find a white solid in the bottom of the bottle. The solid turns litmus red; that is, it is acidic. Yet aldehydes are neutral compounds. How can you explain these observations?arrow_forward18-16 Propanedioic (malonic) acid forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond in which the H of one COOH group forms a hydrogen bond with an O of the other COOH group. Draw a structural formula to show this internal hydrogen bonding. (There are two possible answers.)arrow_forward
