Which carboxylic acid is the simplest? (acetic, butyric, formic, propionic)?

formic\n\nFormic acid (systematically called methanoic acid) is the simplest carboxylic acid. Its formula is CH2O2 or HCOOH.

I assume you mean triacylglycerol. The exact answer depends on the nature of the acyl groups, but it will be glycerol and carboxylic acids.\n\nXC(O)OCH2CH[OC(O)X]CH2OC(O)X + 3H2O = 3XCOOH + HOCH2CHOHCH2OH\n\nIf X = alkyl or alkenyl then you'll get fatty acids, as mentioned in a previous answer.

Malic acid and citric acid.\nThe first one is also found in apples.

butyric acid has a boiling point of 162oC.  it will not be very volatile at all, especially incomparison to water, acetic acid etc.

n-hexanoic acid\n\nThere are a LOT of compounds with that chemical formula.  Check chemfinder.com for more.

Trifluoroacetic acid is a strong acid with a pKa of ~0.2 to 0.3.  Acetic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.75.  \n\nTrifluoroacetic acid is about 10^4.5 (10^(4.75-0.25)) times as dissociated as acetic acid.

To esterify a carboxylic acid (including oleic acid), you need to add the appropriate alcohol (polyethylene glycol) and an acid to catalyze the reaction.  However, to drive the reaction to completion, you must remove water that is produced as a coproduct.  You can do this by heating (boiling off the water).\n\nAlternatively, you can convert the acid to an acid chloride (using, for instance, thionyl chloride) and then reacting the acid chloride with the alcohol.  This is usually done in a non-nucleophillic base, such as pyridine, to react with the HCl that is produced during esterification.

Acidic.  Citric acid.

Oleic acid ((Z)-9-octadecenoic acid) + Br2 ---> 9,10-dibromooctadecanoic acid \n\nOr: \n\nC18H34O2 + Br2 ----> C18H34O2Br2

Every acid has one thing in common - it liberates hydrogen in a reaction.  Thus HCl(Hydrochloric acid)  H2SO4 (sulfuric), CH3COOH (acetic)

C3H7NO2 \n\nwww.chemfinder.com is a useful resource.  \n\nI hope this helps :)

An organic acid. Remember that in water, an organic acid is going to dissociate, depending on the acid, almost entirely. An ester is polar and will be somewhat soluble, but never as soluble as the resulting ions from the organic acid.

It can refer to several things, pick the one you want:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCA\n\nI think it is most likely this one:\nTrichloroacetic acid (also known as trichloroethanoic acid) is an analogue of acetic acid in which the three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group have all been replaced by chlorine atoms.\n\nIt is prepared by the reaction of chlorine with acetic acid in the presence of a suitable catalyst.\n\nCH3COOH + 3Cl2 → CCl3COOH + 3HCl \nIt is widely used in biochemistry for the precipitation of macromolecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA. Its sodium salt is used as a weedkiller

Carbonic acid forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water and can only be found in solution form.

A ketone is RCOR'\n\nFor completeness, the others are:\n\nROR' - ether\n\nRCOOH - carboxylic acid\n\nRCOOR' - ester

Glacial acetic acid is a trivial name for water-free acetic acid. Similar to the German name Eisessig (literally, ice-vinegar), the name comes from the ice-like crystals that form slightly below room temperature at 16.7 °C (about 62 °F).\n\nThe most common and official abbreviation for acetic acid is AcOH or HOAc where Ac stands for the acetyl group CH3−C(=O)−. In the context of acid-base reactions the abbreviation HAc is often used where Ac instead stands for the acetate anion (CH3COO−), although this use is regarded by many as misleading. In either case, the Ac is not to be confused with the abbreviation for the chemical element actinium.\n\nAcetic acid has the empirical formula C2H4O2. This is often written as CH3-COOH, CH3COOH, or CH3CO2H to better reflect its structure. The ion resulting from loss of H+ from acetic acid is the acetate anion. The name acetate can also refer to a salt containing this anion or an ester of acetic acid.
