How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid? Chemistry Q&A

Distinguishing between Carboxylic acid and Alcohol:- • We can distinguish between Carboxylic acid and Alcohol by the Sodium bicarbonate ( Na 2 CO 3 ) test. • When a Carboxylic acid is reacted with Sodium bicarbonate, it produces a brisk effervescence of Carbon dioxide. • The reaction is: R - COOH ( aq ) Carboxylic acid + Na 2 CO 3 ( s ) Sodium bicarbinate â†’ R - COONa ( aq ) Sodium acetate + CO 2 ( g ) ( â†‘ ) Carbon dioxide + H 2 O ( l ) Water • This Carbon dioxide gas produced turns lime water milky. • When an Alcohol reacts with Sodium bicarbonate, it does show any such reactions R - OH ( aq ) Alcohol + Na 2 CO 3 ( s ) Sodium bicarbonate â†’ No reaction Therefore, Carboxylic acid and Alcohol can be distinguished by using Sodium bicarbonate as, Carboxylic acid produces a brisk effervesce when reacted with it, whereas Alcohols do not produce anything when reacted with Sodium bicarbonate. Q. (a) What would be observed by adding a 5 % alkaline potassium permanganate solution drop by drop to some warm ethanol in a test-tube? Write the name of the compound formed during the chemical reaction. Also, write the chemical equation of the reaction which takes place. (b) How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid on the basis of a chemical property?

Question 1How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid?

When an acid reacts with carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, it gives carbon dioxide which turns lime water milky. On the other hand, alcohol does not give carbon dioxide on reaction with carbonate or hydrogen carbonate. Thus, the reaction with carbonate or hydrogen carbonate can be used to distinguish between carboxylic acid and alcohol.

CH 3 COOH + NaHCO 3 → CH 3 COONa + H 2 O + CO 2 How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid? What are oxidising agents? Na +4.5 SOAPS AND DETERGENTS Activity 4.10 - Take about 10 mL of water each in two test tubes. - Add a drop of oil (cooking oil) to both the test tubes and label them as A and B. Views: 5,525 96% contain carbon. We know that the compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon are known as hydrocarbons. If all four valences of carbon in any compound are satisfied through single bonds, the compound is called alkane, and is a saturated hydrocarbon. If they are satisfied through double or triple bonds then compounds are alkenes and alkynes respectively and are also known as unsaturated hydrocarbons. In class 9 th , we studied alkanes in some detail. Alkanes are depicted by the general formula RH. When a hydrogen atom is removed from the alkane then the group (radical) formed is referred to as alkyl group and is generally depicted by − R. For example, when a hydrogen atom is removed from methane ( CH 4 ) we get methyl ( − CH 3 ) and it is removed from ethane we get ethyl ( − C 2 H 3 ) group. Are the properties of carbon compounds determined by these alkyl group or by some other group? Let us explore.
