CARBOXYLIC ACIDS<br />
Liquid organic acids<br />
• All acids contains carboxyl group COOH.<br />
• Acids divided into two major classes.<br />
Aliphatic acid and aromatic acid. Also can divide into different types<br />
according to number of carboxylic group in the molecules or according to type<br />
or number of another group attached to acid molecules.<br />
Aliphatic acids :<br />
HCOOH<br />
formic acid<br />
Aromatic acid:<br />
COOH<br />
CH 3 COOH<br />
Acetic acid<br />

Salicylic acid<br />
Neutral Solution of acid:<br />
N.S of acid is the ammonium salt for acid<br />
RCOOH + NH 4 OH RCOONH 4 + H 2 O<br />
