Which functional group is present in all members of the carboxylic acid homologous series?

What are the products of the reaction between ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate?

Magnesium reacts with ethanoic acid according to the equation:
\(\text{Mg(s)} + 2\text{CH}_3\text{COOH(aq)} \rightarrow (\text{CH}_3\text{COO})_2\text{Mg(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{(g)}\)
If \(\text{0.1 mol}\) of magnesium ribbon is added to an excess of ethanoic acid, what volume of hydrogen gas is produced at r.t.p.?

An ester is named methyl propanoate. Which pair of reactants is used to produce this ester in the presence of an acid catalyst?

Two solutions, \(\text{X}\) and \(\text{Y}\), have the same concentration of \(\text{0.1 mol/dm}^3\). Solution \(\text{X}\) is aqueous ethanoic acid and solution \(\text{Y}\) is aqueous hydrochloric acid. Which statement about these solutions is correct?
