Q

carbonyl test: Acidified potassium dichromate

A

aldehydes oxidised to carboxylic acid
orange dichromate (VI) into green chromium (III)
ketones show no change because cannot be oxidised

Q

formation of carboxylic acid by hydrolysis of nitriles

A

under acidic conditions
carboxylic acid and ammonium salt
Alkaline conditions produce a carboxylate ion and ammonia

Q

neutralisation of carboxylic acid

A

Carboxylic acids are weak acids, and so react with bases to form neutral salts
e.g.
CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COO- +Na + H2O
