Chapter 17.4, Problem 17.3P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equation for the reaction of acid in Example 17.3 with ammonia has to be written and the name of the carboxylic acid salt formed should be named.

Concept introduction:

Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl attached to a hydroxyl group as shown below,

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 17.4, Problem 17.3P , additional homework tip  1

Nomenclature of carboxylic acid:

  • Find the Parent hydrocarbon chain.
  • Carboxyl carbon must be numbered first.
  • Replace the –e in the alkane name with –oic acid.

Carboxylic acid reacts with ammonia gives neutral carboxylic salt.

2,4-Pentanedione is a considerably stronger acid than is acetone (Chapter 19). Write a structural formula for the conjugate base of each acid and account for the greater stability of the conjugate base from 2,4-pentanedione.
Write the neutralization reaction occurring between benzoic acid and NaOH. What is the stoichiometry of the reaction?
The amount of tartaric acid is responsible for the tartness of wine and controls the acidity of the wine.  Tartaric acid also plays a very significant role in the overall taste, feel and color of a wine.   Tartaric acid is a diprotic organic acid The chemical formula for tartaric acid is C4H6O6 and its structural formula is HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H.   A 50.00 mL sample of a white dinner wine required 21.48 mL of 0.03776 M NaOH to achieve a faint pink color.  Express the acidity of the wine in terms of grams of tartaric acid, H2C4H4O6 (M. M.  =  150.10) per 100 mL of wine.  Assume that the two acidic hydrogens are titrated at the end point. MM H2C4H4O6 = 150.10 MM NaOH = 40.00 Below is the balanced chemical equation for this titration.
