Physical properties
 Physical

state: Methanoic acid and ethanoic
acid are liquids, while propanoic acid and
butanoic acid are solids
 Short chain carboxylic acids are soluble in
water due to the polar COOH group
 Carboxylic acids are soluble in non-polar
solvents such as cyclohexane
Boiling points of carboxylic acids
 Boiling

points higher than the corresponding
alcohols
 This is because carboxylic acids form
dimers, where two carboxylic acid molecules
are held together by two hydrogen bonds
 This is possible due to polarity in both the
C=O and O-H bonds in each carboxylic acid
molecule

Occurrence and uses
 Methanoic

acid is found in the sting of ants

and nettles
 Ethanoic acid is the principal acid in vinegar
 Ethanoic acid is used in the manufacture of
cellulose acetate
 Propanoic acid, benzoic acid and their salts
(e.g. sodium benzoate) are used as food
preservatives
