  2. Acid strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_strength

    For example, acetic acid is a weak acid which has a = 1.75 x 10 −5. Its conjugate base is the acetate ion with K b = 10 −14 / K a = 5.7 x 10 −10 (from the relationship K a × K b = 10 −14 ), which certainly does not correspond to a strong base.

  3. List of carboxylic acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_carboxylic_acids

    The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.

  4. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    medium to long-chain saturated and unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, with even number of carbons; examples: docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid (nutritional supplements) Amino acids: the building-blocks of proteins: Keto acids: acids of biochemical significance that contain a ketone group; examples: acetoacetic acid and pyruvic acid

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

  7. Organic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_acid

    An organic acid is an organic compound with acidic properties. The most common organic acids are the carboxylic acids, whose acidity is associated with their carboxyl group –COOH. Sulfonic acids, containing the group –SO 2 OH, are relatively stronger acids. Alcohols, with –OH, can act as acids but they are usually very weak.

  8. Acid salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_salt

    A salt containing reactive cations undergo hydrolysis by which they react with water molecules, causing deprotonation of the conjugate acids. For example, the acid salt ammonium chloride is the main species formed upon the half neutralization of ammonia in aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride: [2] NH 3 + HCl(aq) → [NH 4] + Cl − (aq)

  9. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

    A typical example of a Lewis acid in action is in the Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction. [5] The key step is the acceptance by AlCl 3 of a chloride ion lone-pair, forming AlCl − 4 and creating the strongly acidic, that is, electrophilic, carbonium ion. RCl +AlCl 3 → R + + AlCl − 4
