Question

Chemical properties of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids. Reactions on the
carboxyl group and the carbohydrate radical. Joining against Markovnikov's rule.

Answer 1

Answer:

The boiling point of a carboxylic acid is generally higher than that of water. These compounds have the ability to donate protons and are therefore Bronsted-Lowry acids. They generally have a strong sour smell. However, their esters have pleasant odours and are therefore used in perfumes.
