Solution
-
The functional group of a carboxylic acid is ‒COOH.
-
When butanoic acid is added to a solution of potassium carbonate, the products formed are Potassium butanoate + water + carbon dioxide.
-
Carboxylic acids are weak acids, which means they partially dissociate into ions when dissolved in water and the change is reversible.
-
In the presence of a strong acid catalyst, carboxylic acids react with compounds in the alcohol homologous series to form esters.
-
The correct structural formula for the ester ethyl ethanoate is CH3COOCH2CH3.
-
One use for esters is as food flavourings.
