A

Dissolve in water

Produces neutral solution

35
Q

Alcohols reacting with sodium form what (2)

A

Hydrogen / alkoxides

36
Q

Why can alcohols be used as solvents

A

They can dissolve substances that water can’t

Like hydrocarbons/oils/fats

37
Q

Ethanol acts as a solvent for what two things

A

Perfumes/aftershaves

Found in methylated spirit

38
Q

Meth- contains how many C

Etha - contains how many C

Propa-contains how many C

39
Q

Salts formed with carboxylic acids end in what

A

Anoate

(Methanoate)

(Ethanoate)

40
Q

Carboxylic acids dissolve in water which changes the pH by how much?

Why?

A

Very little (makes it more acidic)

Doesn’t completely ionise and doesn’t release many H+

41
Q

Carboxylic acids / carbonate equation

A

Carboxylic Acid + carbonate —> carbon dioxide+water +salt

42
Q

How can we form ethanoic Acid?

A

Citric Acid

45
Q

Carboxylic acids with longer chains are used for what

A

Soaps and detergents

46
