Is Sulfuric acid -- H2SO4 ----- a carboxylic acid?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Is chloroethane an alkane?

Thanks

Answer 3

NO it is NOT a carboxylic acid because instead of a -COOH it has a SOOH

Answer 4

yes it is an alkane...it even has a
-ane ending.

Answer 5

I would call chloroethane an alkyl chloride. If alkanes are defined as hydrocarbons, and this compound also has Cl, then it is not an alkane.

Answer 6

Hm..so then the alkyl halide is a derivative of an alkane. (slaps forehead for forgetting this)

Answer 7

Yes, alkyl halides are made from alkanes (at least they are sometimes).
