Carboxylic acids: considered as weak acids due to they ionize in solution to give -COO⁻ and H⁺, they are abundant in nature, they can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds so they exist as dimers (remember that alcohols also can form hydrogen bonds).
- Acids have higher boiling and melting points than corresponding molar mass compounds due to the formation of hydrogen bond
- Aromatic carboxylic acids are solids in nature at room temperature
- Acids have higher boiling and melting points than corresponding molar mass compounds due to the formation of hydrogen bond
- Aromatic carboxylic acids are solids in nature at room temperature
The main propety of carboxylic group is that it is acidic in nature and will form intermolecular hydrogen bond and every functional group will shows different properties.
What are functional groups?
Functional groups are the groups which decide the whole chemical properties as well as nature of the substance.
Functional group of any acid or Carboxylic acid is -COOH and some properties of it is discussed as:
- On dillution these acids will give H⁺ ion to the solution.
- As the name suggested that it is acidic in nature and having pH value in between the 0 to 6.9.
- This molecule will form intermolecular hydrogen bond.
Compounds which have different functional group other that -COOH will shows differnt properties for example:
- -OH is an alcoholic group and this will also make hydrogen bond due to presence of oxygen atom and hydrogen atom but show different reactivity as compare to acid.
- -CO is a carbonyl group which is polar in nature.
- -NH₃ is an ammonia group and it is basic in nature.
So compared properties of carboxylic acids with other functional groups are discussed above.
