Carboxylic Acids: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #30

carboxylic acid  IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry molecules is systematic based on the number of carbons in the molecule For example, valeric acid is the common name for The carboxylic acid 15 exhibits a smectic A bulk phase whereas the appropriate methyl and ethyl esters 16–19 show polymorphic phase transitions SmE → SmB →

Carboxylic acids are weak acids because they only partially ionise in solution Their solutions do not contain many hydrogen ions compared to By Le Châtelier's principle, this drives the carboxylic acid–ester equilibrium toward the carboxylic acid
