1. Recognize the structure of acetic anhydride and phosphorous containing anhydrides.
2. Be able to draw structures and give examples of carboxylic acids.
3. Know common nomenclature for carboxylic acids (-ic acid and a ,b ,g ,d positions).
4. Know IUPAC names for carboxylic acids methanoic acid to decanoic acid (drop the e in methane and add oic acid).
5. Know why a water insoluble acid will dissolve if you add some base to the water.
6. Know that the salt formed by the addition of base ends in -ate and begins with an inorganic metal (e.g. sodium)
7. Know how to name an ester.
8. Draw the structure of nicotinamide in its reduced and oxidized state.
9. Draw structures of nicotinic acid and the nicotinate ion.
10. Draw the general structure of an amino acid and an amide linkage.
