Organic Acids and Bases

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Includes the acid strengths of carboxylic acids, phenols and alcohols, and the base strengths of primary amines.

  • Organic Acids
  • Organic Bases
    This page explains why simple organic bases are basic and looks at the factors which affect their relative strengths. For A'level purposes, all the bases we are concerned with are primary amines - compounds in which one of the hydrogens in an ammonia molecule, NH3, is replaced either by an alkyl group or a benzene ring.
