EXPERIMENT 9 CARBOXYLIC ACID AND DERIVATIVES
Date: January 19, 2004
Objectives:
1. To understand the reactions of carboxylic compounds and derivatives.
2. To know the methods for preparing carboxylic acid derivatives.
3. To know the methods for testing the carboxylic acid derivatives.
Experimental Procedures:
9.1 Solubility
1. Prepare 3 test tubes with 3 ml of water in each.
2. Place 3 drops of acetic acid, benzoic acid, and oxalic acid in separate test tubes.
3. Shake and observe the solubility, then test the solution with litmus paper if soluble.
4. Repeat the experiment using ether and ethanol as the solvent.
9.2 Reactions with Bases
1. Prepare 3 test tubes with 3 drops of 5% NaOH.
2. Add 5 drops of 50 mg of acetic acid, benzoic acid and oxalic acid.
3. Shake and observe the changes.
4. Repeat the procedures using 5% NaHCO3.
9.3 Oxidation Reactions
