Key Points: Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids

  • Solubility: Decreases with an increase in the size of the hydrocarbon part.
  • Miscibility: Lower carboxylic acids (up to 4 C atoms) are miscible with water due to H-bonding.
  • Boiling point: Carboxylic acids have higher B.P. than ketones, aldehydes, and alcohols of comparable molecular mass due to intermolecular H-bonding.
  • Order of B.P. (carboxylic acids & aldehydes): Valeric > Butyric > Propionic > Acetic > Formic acid; Hexanal > Pentanal > Butanal > Propanal.
  • Order of B.P. (ketones): Hexan-2-one > Pentan-2-one > Butan-2-one > Propanone.
