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 />

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 />
