Acrylic acid is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid with a molecular structure consisting of a vinyl group and a carboxyl group. Pure acrylic acid is a clear colourless liquid with a characteristic irritating odour. Density 1.0511. melting point 14°C. boiling point 140.9°C. Boiling point 140.9°C. Strong acidity. Corrosive. Soluble in water, ethanol and ether. Chemical property is active. Easily polymerised into transparent white powder. Generate propionic acid when reducing. When added with hydrochloric acid to generate 2-chloropropionic acid, used in the preparation of acrylic resin, also used in other organic synthesis. Obtained by oxidation of acrolein or hydrolysis of acrylonitrile, also synthesised from acetylene, carbon monoxide and water, or oxidised by ethylene and carbon monoxide under pressure.
