  2. KNOCKHARDY PUBLISHING CARBOXYLIC ACIDS INTRODUCTION This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students understand selected topics at AS and A2 level Chemistry. It is based on the requirements of the AQA and OCR specifications but is suitable for other examination boards. Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes or it may be used for classroom teaching if an interactive white board is available. Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of AS and A2 topics, are available from the KNOCKHARDY SCIENCE WEBSITE at... www.knockhardy.org.uk/sci.htm Navigation is achieved by... either clicking on the grey arrows at the foot of each page or using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard

  11. NAMING CARBOXYLIC ACIDS Acids are named according to standard IUPAC rules • select the longest chain of C atoms containing the COOH group; • remove the e and add oic acid after the basic name • number the chain starting from the end nearer the COOH group • as in alkanes, prefix with alkyl substituents • side chain positions are based on the C in COOH being 1 e.g. CH3 - CH(CH3) - CH2 - CH2 - COOH is called 4-methylpentanoic acid

  18. HYDROGEN BONDING PHYSICAL PROPERTIES BOILING POINT Increases as size increases - due to increased van der Waals forces Carboxylic acids have high boiling points for their relative mass • arises from inter-molecular hydrogen bonding due to polar O—H bonds AN EXTREME CASE... DIMERISATION • extra inter-molecular attraction = more energy to separate molecules

  19. HYDROGEN BONDING PHYSICAL PROPERTIES SOLUBILITY • carboxylic acids are soluble in organic solvents • they are also soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding

  20. HYDROGEN BONDING PHYSICAL PROPERTIES SOLUBILITY • carboxylic acids are soluble in organic solvents • they are also soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding • small ones dissolve readily in cold water • as mass increases, the solubility decreases • benzoic acid is fairly insoluble in cold but soluble in hot water
