A carboxylic acid is named in the IUPAC system by replacing the -e in the name of the parent alkane with -<u>oic acid</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is carboxylic acid?</h3>

Carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group. Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

Carboxylic acids are commonly identified by their trivial names. They often have the suffix -ic acid. IUPAC-recommended names also exist; in this system, carboxylic acids have an -oic acid suffix. For example, butyric acid (C3H7CO2H) is butanoic acid by IUPAC guidelines. For nomenclature of complex molecules containing a carboxylic acid, the carboxyl can be considered position one of the parent chain even if there are other substituents, such as 3-chloropropanoic acid. Alternately, it can be named as a "carboxy" or "carboxylic acid" substituent on another parent structure, such as 2-carboxyfuran.

Chemical reaction when chromium metal is immersed in an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride.
Marrrta [24]

2Cr + 3CoCl_2→ 2CrCl_3 + 3Co

Explanation:

  • The products formed are chromic chloride and cobalt.

        Chromium + Cobaltous Chloride = Chromic Chloride + Cobalt

  • Type  of reaction is Single Displacement (Substitution) which is there is a displacement of one atom.

Reactants used in the reaction are -

  • Chromium(Cr)
  • Cobaltous Chloride (CoCl_2)

Products formed in the reaction are -

  • Chromic Chloride(CrCl_3)
  • Cobalt (Co)

Hence, the chemical reaction is as follows -

  • Cr + CoCl_2 →CrCl_3 + Co

For balancing the above chemical equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of chromium and of 3 in front of cobalt(II)chloride on right-hand-side while of 2 in front of chromium chloride and of 3 in front of carbon monoxide on left-hand-side of the equation.

Hence, the balanced equation is -

2Cr + 3CoCl_2→ 2CrCl_3 + 3Co

The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown downwards
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Valence electrons are involved in Reaction B but not in Reaction A.

Explanation:

The description of reaction A in which protons are lost or gained by the atom of the element is a nuclear reaction. In nuclear reactions, the nucleons which are the protons and neutrons drives the reaction. No valence electrons in the orbiting shells are involved in this kind of reaction. During this type of reaction, an atom changes it identity to that of another.

Reaction B in which no identity change occurs is a chemical reaction. In chemical reactions bonds are formed by the atoms using the valence electrons that orbits round the central nucleus. The atoms remain the same but it chose to attain stability and an inert configuration by losing or gaining electrons.
