Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: Carboxylic Acids is soluble in organic solvent regardless of size

Back (Answer)

TRUE

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: Carboxylic Acid is soluble in water if it contains 7 or less than carbon atoms and has O atoms to hydrogen bond.

Back (Answer)

FALSE; it is soluble in water if it contains 5 or less than carbon atoms and has O atoms to hydrogen bond

Front (Question)

It is a positive identification test for acids

Back (Answer)

Solubility in 6m NaOH

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: Carboxylic Acids is soluble if its ph level is less than 10

Back (Answer)

TRUE

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: A carboxylic acid that is insoluble in pure water will be soluble in base due to the formation of the sodium salt of the acid as the acid is neutralize by the base (HIGH MW)

Back (Answer)

TRUE

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: Carboxylic Acid is the strongest organic compound because of its resonance stability

Back (Answer)

TRUE

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: You can confirm if a compound is an acid if it reacts with a strong base

Back (Answer)

TRUE

Front (Question)

The reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid

Back (Answer)

Esterification

Front (Question)

A cyclic ester is called a _____________

Back (Answer)

Lactone

#10

Front (Question)

What is the by product of Esterification?

Back (Answer)

H2O

#11

Front (Question)

What compounds we will need when performing Fischer’s Esterfication?

Back (Answer)

H+ and HCl

#12

Front (Question)

This is a test where alcohols react with carboxylic to form fruity smelling compounds called esters

Back (Answer)

Ester Test

#13

Front (Question)

In ester test, we used acids as catalyst such as _______?

Back (Answer)

H2SO4

#14

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: By using a weak acid, an alcohol can react with a carboxylic acid (fischer esterification) to give an ester

Back (Answer)

FALSE; by using a strong acid

#15

Front (Question)

it involves loss of water (reverse of hydrolysis)

Back (Answer)

Dehydration

#16

Front (Question)

What is the chemical reaction of dehydration?

Back (Answer)

Condensation Reaction

#17

Front (Question)

It is the reaction with water where decomposition occurs more complex to decompose to simpler molecules

Back (Answer)

Hydrolysis

#18

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: All acids derivatives yield carboxylic acids on hydrolysis

Back (Answer)

TRUE

#19

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: Ester does not need acid/base catalyst (vigorous)

Back (Answer)

FALSE; it needs acid/base catalyst

#20

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: Amide needs base catalyst and heating

Back (Answer)

TRUE

#21

Front (Question)

What is the positive result of Acid Hydrolysis?

Back (Answer)

Evolution of heat after addition of H2O, bubble (CO2) formation after addition of sodium bicarbonate (brisk effervesence)

#22

Front (Question)

Why do we put sodium bicarbonate when testing acid hydrolysis?

Back (Answer)

Because they react with carboxylic acids

#23

Front (Question)

IDENTIFICATION: Alcohols react with ____ to form esters and carboxylic acids

Back (Answer)

Acetyl Anhydrides

#24

Front (Question)

TRUE OR FALSE: In Hydrolysis of Acetyl Anhydride, the reaction is slower because acid anhydride aren’t so violently reactive as acyl chlorides.

Back (Answer)

TRUE
