Chemical Properties of Carboxylic Acid
Chemical Properties of Carboxylic Acid
Preparation of ethanoic acid in the laboratory
Oxidation of ethanol
Ethanol is oxidised by acidified potassium dichromate(VI) solution.
Dichromate ion (orange) changes to chromium ion (green).
\(C_2H_5OH(l) \xrightarrow[]{[O]} CH_3COOH (l)\)
Chemical reactions of ethanoic acid as an acid
Reaction with base or alkali
Product: salt and water
Also known as neutralisation reaction.
Example of reaction with sodium hydroxide;
\(CH_3COOH (aq) + NaOH(aq) \rightarrow CH_3COONa (aq) + H_2O(l)\)
Reaction with reactive metal
Product: salt and hydrogen gas
Example of reaction with magnesium;
\(2CH_3COOH (aq) + Mg(s) \rightarrow (CH_3COO)_2Mg (aq) + H_2(g)\)
Reaction with metal carbonate
Product: salt, carbon dioxide gas and water
Example of reaction with calcium carbonate;
\(2CH_3COOH (aq) + CaCO_3(s) \rightarrow (CH_3COO)_2Ca(aq) + H_2O(l) + CO_2(g)\)
The chemical reaction of ethanoic acid with an alcohol
Product: ester
Also known as an esterification reaction.
Catalyst: hydrogen ion
\(CH_3COOH (aq) + C_2H_5OH(l) \xrightarrow []{H^+}CH_3COOC_2H_5(aq) + H_2O(l) \)
