Carboxylic Acids as Weak Acids

Carboxylic Acids as Weak Acids

Carboxylic acids contain the functional group -COOH\text{-COOH}-COOH. The oxygen atoms pull electron density away from the hydrogen atom, allowing the O-H\text{O-H}O-H bond to break and release an H+\text{H}^+H+ ion.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Chemistry Carboxylic acids and esters (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
