Acids Flashcards
Give some names of acids
Methanoic acid
Ethanoic acid
Propanoic acid
Butanoic acid
Give some key points on the structure on acids
Double bond between the C and O but the rest is single bonds
Molecule
What is the bonding in acids
Covalent
What are the products on reactions with metal carbonates
Carbon dioxide
Salt
Water
What is the functional group
C double to O and - OH
Acid reaction with alcohol
Makes water and an ester which is ETHYETHANATE
So acid + alcohol—- ester + water
What is the formula for Acids
-COOH
Give the key points on strong and weak acids starting with strong
HCL is a strong acid meaning it fully ionises, PH1= red so very acidic
CH3COOH- weak acid and partially ionises so PH=3, orange so not super strong
