Properties of alkanoic acids and physical properties of ethanoic acid
Answer Text: Properties of alkanoic acidsGradation in physic properties of alkanoic acidsPhysical properties of ethanoic acid- A colourless liquid with a sharp pungent smell.- B.P is 118oC and freezes at 170Cforming ice like crystals termed as glacial ethanoic acid.- It is soluble in water and is weakly acidic with a P.H of approximately 4.8.Note- Concentrated ethanoic acid is only slightly ionized and is a poor conductor of electricity- On dilution its conductance steadily improves as the extent of ionization increases
