Describe carboxylic-acid reactions with metals, alkalis, carbonates, alcohols, and LiAlH4.
Describe a. the redox reaction with reactive metals to produce a salt and H2(g) b. the neutralization reaction with alkalis to produce a salt and H2O c. the acid–base reaction with carbonates to produce a salt and H2O(l) and CO2(g) d. esterification with alcohols with concentrated H2SO4 as catalyst e. reduction by LiAlH4 to form a primary alcohol.
