This post will teach you about carboxylic acid acidity and the factors that influence it, such as substituents and halogens. In terms of acidity, you’ll also compare carboxylic acid to alcohol and phenol. What are Carboxylic Acids? Carbon compounds that contain carboxyl group \(\left( {{\rm...
A systematic quantum-chemical study of the hydrogenation of ethene, catalyzed by strong acids HX (X = F, Cl, Br) and superacids HA (A = MgX3, Mg2X5; X = F, Cl, Br) arising from octet superhalogens is explored. Two possible paths are proposed, concerted and stepwise, and the ...
