`
`Equation (17-7) is merely the equilibrium expression for reaction (17-3). The large
`value of K shows that the reaction proceeds to completion; dodecanoic acid is con-
`verted by aqueous sodium hydroxide completely into the salt, sodium dodecanoate.
`Note that the anions of carboxylic acids are named by dropping -ic from the name of
`the parent acid and adding the suffix -ate. Although dodecanoic acid is a neutral
`molecule, sodium dodecanoate is a salt. Dissolution of this salt gives an anion and a
`cation, which can be solvated by water. It is not surprising that the solubility of sodium
`dodecanoate (1.2 g per 100 mL) is much greater than that of dodecanoic acid itself
`(0.0055 g per 100 mL).
`
`EXERCISE 17.5 Equation (17-7) can be used to calculate the ratio of ionized and
`nonionized dodecanoic acid at a given pH, by inserting the proper value for [OH‘]. Calculate
`
`this ratio for pH = 2, 4, 6, and 8.
`
`D. Soaps
`
`The sodium and potassium salts of long-chain carboxylic acids (“fatty acids") are
`
`obtained by the reaction of natural fats with sodium or potassium hydroxide. These
`
`salts, referred to as soaps, have the interesting and useful ability to solubilize nonpolar
`organic substances. This phenomenon can easily be understood if one considers the
`structure of such a salt.

`
`The molecule has a polar ionic region and a large nonpolar hydrocarbon region. In
`aqueous solution a number of carboxylate ions tend to cluster together so that the
`hydrocarbon tails are close to each other, thus reducing their energy by the attractive
`van der Waals forces enjoyed by normal hydrocarbons. The surface of the sphere—lil<e
`cluster is then occupied by the highly polar CO2‘ groups. These polar groups face the
`medium, where they may be solvated by H30 or paired with a cation. The resulting
`spherical structure, called a micelle, is depicted in cross section in Figure l7.3. The
`wavy lines in the figure represent the long hydrocarbon chains of the salt molecules.
`Organic material such as butter or motor oil that is not normally soluble in water may
`“dissolve” in the hydrocarbon interior of a rnicelle. The overall process of soap
`solubilization is diagrammed schematically in Figure 17.4.

`
`Certain bacteria can metabolize soaps. This degradation 15 most rapid when there are no
`branches in the hydrocarbon chain of the soap molecule. Since the naturally occurring
`fatty acids are all unbranched compounds, soaps derived from natural fats are said to be
`biodegradable. Before 1933 all cleaning materials were soaps. In that year the first syn
`thetic detergents were marketed. Detergents have the useful property of not forming the
`hard “scum" that often results from the use of a soap with hard water. This scum is
`actually the insoluble magnesium and calcium salts of the fatty acid. The first detergents
`were alkylbenzenesulfonates. Like soaps. they had a large nonpolar hydrocarbon tail and
`a polar end.

`
`However, being branched compounds, these early detergents were not rapidly biodegrad-
`able. Since the materials could not be completely metabolized by the bacteria that operate
`in sewage treatment plants, they were passed into natural waterways with the treated
`sewage and often reappeared as foam or suds on the surface of lakes and rivers. After an

`17.5 Spectroscopy
`
`A. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
`
`The resonance positions for various types of hydrogens in carboxylic acids are summa-
`rized in Table 17.5. I-Iydrogens attached to C-2 of a catboxylic acid resonate at roughly
`the same place as do the analogous hydrogens in aldehydes and ketones. The very
`low—field resonance of the carboxy proton is associated with the dimeric hydrogen-
`
`bonded structure discussed in Section 17. l. The spectrum of 2-methylpropanoic acid is
`shown in Figure 17.5.
`The CMR chemical shifts of carboxylic acids are similar to those seen with alde-
`hydes (Table 14.4), except that the carbonyl carbon itself resonates at much lower
`field. Representative data are summarized in Table 17.6.
