MODULE 9

• It reacts with water to produce a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

  ester
• The main chain of an ester comes from the carboxylic acid, while the alkyl group in an ester comes from the_.

  carboxylic acid
• Carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol to produce an_.

  ester and water
• _to produce the salt of a carboxylic acid and an amine or ammonia.

  Base hydrolysis
• One to five carbon atoms are_ in water because they can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

  soluble
• Carboxylic acids are_ 


  Weak acids
• _ to produce a carboxylic acid and an ammonium salt.

  Acid hydrolysis
• Carboxylic acids are _ because they

  have two polar bonds hydroxyl (-0H) and

  carbonyl (C=0).

  Strongly polar
• —— in water to produce carboxylate ions and hydronium ions.

  Ionize
• lonize in water to produce carboxylate ions and hydronium ions. 


  carboxylic acids
• Similar to ammonia,_ are weak bases in water.

  Amines
• It contains a carboxyl group, which consists of a hydroxyl group -0H attached to the carbon in a carbonyl group. 


  carboxylic acids
• The main chain of an ester comes from the_.

  carboxylic acid
