Carboxylic Acids

Another family of chemicals with a carbonyl group in. Take a peek at this video to find out how to name carboxylic acids, physical properties and chemical reactions with metals, bases and carbonates. #usefulacids

You are an absolute gem Mr.Chris, thank you for saving me from failure multiple times

[HackzxTTGx]

Videos are done exactly the way new spec is set out. thank you so much pal

[박준기-cd]

It is the perfect format. Clear, simple and effective. Thank you sir!!

You're honestly the best! I've been binge watching mostly all of your videos! Thank you so much.❤

Yo you're being an absolute legend doing videos like this. Thanks a lot for carrying on despite small following but we are benefitting from you.
Is there a course you're following when you do the videos??
If it's ok to ask can you do some A level AQA videos, the new course for 2015 which doesn't have an AS to it all exams at the end of Y13.
Thanks

is there any need of specifying the '2' in 2-methylpropanoic acid since that's the only possible position of the methyl group in propanoic acid? (i.e. the methyl group can't be attached to the first carbon atom obviously and it can't be attached to the third carbon, otherwise we'd name it butanoic acid, so the only carbon atom it can be attached to is the 2nd one for it to be methyl propanoic acid)

Its perfect Nice Job Harris :), Perhaps you can also include that the high melting and boiling temperature of Carboxylic Acid is Due to its Dimer Formation** :)
Rest is Absolutely Perfect :)

Thank mate ! wish you all the best in 2016!

Hi Chris I absolutely love your videos! Very useful and they are helping a lot. In this video you said that a hydrogen bond can only take place with a delta positive hydrogen on one molecule and a delta negative oxygen on another molecule with a lone pair of electrons. Therefore does the oxygen in the carboxylic acid contain a lone pair of electrons, or not? Thank you

Quick question: why is it called Ethanedioic acid, I would have thought it would be called diethanoic acid?

Hello are these the same as Hydroxyacids? Please answer, thanks
