Common name for naming aromatic acids?
Named as benzoic acids
*diacids are acids that contain 2 -COOH Functional groups, IUPAC end in dioic acid, but common names are preferred
- How are carboxylate ions: metal salts, named by IUPAC system?
- What about common name? 
- Name of metal + alkan- + -oate
* Carboxylate —-> Conjugate bases of carboxylic acid - Name of metal + root- + -ate
What is the most polar functional group?
What type of forces do they have? 
Carboxylic acid
What type of forces do carboxylic acids have?
- VDW forces
- dipole dipole forces
- Hydrogen bonding
Carboxylic acids exist as _______
Dimers
Since carboxylic acids have very strong intermolecular forces, they have ___________ BP and MP The other compounds of comparable molar mass
Higher
Call carboxylic acids are __________ In organic solvents
Soluble

Oxidative cleavage of Alkynes 
Catalysts: O3/H2O or KMnO4/H3O+
Carboxylic acids are produced from internal Alkynes.
For terminal Alkynes, a carboxylic acid and CO2 are produced
What are the products of oxidative cleavage of Alkenes with acidic or neutral KMnO4? 
- if there are hydrogen on the carbons of the double bond, = 2 carboxylic acids
- if there are two hydrogens on a carbon of the double bond, = CO2 and Carboxylic acid is formed 
- There are no Hydro double bond carbons, = 2 ketones
