Carboxylic Acid
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1Carboxylic Acid General FormulaCnH2nO2
- 2Benzoic AcidAcid group attached to benzene ring
- 3Physical properties# High BP for relative mass
- 4As length of Carbon chain increasesBPT increases - the bigger the molecule the more VDW
- 5Boiling Point increases with straight molecules# Greater branching
# Lower intermolecular VDW forces
# Low BPT - 6Solubility# H bonds form between H2O molecules and individual molecules of acid
- 7Solubility decreases with size# Longer hydrocarbon tails get between water molecules and break H bonds
