Physical

Basic explanation of the properties of matter: intensive, extensive, qulaitative, quantitative, physical and chemical.

In this video I discuss the trend in boiling points and solubilities of the carboxylic acids. These are explained in terms of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces.

This video looks at the physical properties of esters. It considers the trends in their boiling points and compares them with their functional group isomers - carboxylic acids. It also makes a brief reference to their lack of miscibility with water.
