state the names and formulas of the common acids, limited to hydrochloric acid, HCl, sulfuric acid, \( H_2SO_4 \), nitric acid, \( HNO_3 \), ethanoic acid, \( CH_3COOH \)

recall the reactions by which carboxylic acids can be produced: (a) oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes with acidified \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) or acidified \( KMnO_4 \) and refluxing (b) hydrolysis of nitriles with dilute acid or dilute alkali followed by acidification (c) hydrolysis of esters with dilute acid or dilute alkali and heat followed by acidification
