Carboxylic acids
:
are
weak acids
↳ do not
ionise
(dissociate) fully in water.
functional group
:-
COOH
→ one C=O
double bond
one OH group
undergoes same reactions as other acids → slower
eg. acid + carbonate → salt + water +CO2
dissolve in water to form
acidic
solutions
react with alcohols (in the presence of an
acid catalyst
) to form
esters
