For naming a
IUPAC rules for naming a carboxylic acid:
- The longest parent carbon chain is identified that includes the carboxyl group.
- The parent chain name is changed by replacing the suffix “-e” with “-oic acid”.
- Numbering is done in a way that the carboxyl group is designated as number 1. This is not indicated in the part of the name because for
aldehyde , the carboxyl carbon is always numbered 1. - The identity and location of substituents if any has to be determined and this information has to be added in front of the IUPAC name.
- If the carboxyl
functional group is attached to a ring of carbon atoms, the ring is named and “-carboxylic acid” is added as suffix. - If the compound contains two carboxyl groups, then suffix “-dioic acid” is added after the parent alkane name.
(a)
Answer to Problem 16.34EP
IUPAC name of fumaric acid is trans-butenedioic acid.
Explanation of Solution
Structure of fumaric acid is,
The longest continuous carbon chain has to be found out with the carboxyl group in it. In this it is a four carbon chain. The structure contains a double bond in it. The parent carbon chain is butene. The given structure contains two carboxyl groups. The carboxylic acid is named by adding suffix “-dioic acid”. This gives the name of carboxylic acid as butenedioic acid.
Looking for substituents it is found that there are no substituents present in the carbon chain. Stereochemistry is possible across the double bond. As the two hydrogen atoms are on the opposite side of double bond, the configuration at the double bond is “trans”. This has to be included in the name to get the IUPAC name. IUPAC name of the fumaric acid is found as trans-butenedioic acid.
IUPAC name of fumaric acid is given.

Answer to Problem 16.34EP
IUPAC name of pyruvic acid is 2-oxopropanoic acid.
Explanation of Solution
Structure of pyruvic acid is,
The longest continuous carbon chain has to be found out with the carboxyl group in it. In this it is a three carbon chain. The parent alkane is propane. The given structure contains a carboxyl group. The carboxylic acid is named by replacing the suffix “-e” with suffix “-oic acid”. This gives the name of carboxylic acid as propanoic acid.
Looking for substituents it is found that there is a keto group present on the second carbon atom. Hence, the IUPAC name of the pyruvic acid is 2-oxopropanoic acid.
IUPAC name of pyruvic acid is given.

Answer to Problem 16.34EP
IUPAC name of malic acid is 2-hydroxybutanedioic acid.
Explanation of Solution
Structure of malic acid is,
The longest continuous carbon chain has to be found out with the carboxyl group in it. In this it is a four carbon chain. The parent alkane is butane. The given structure contains two carboxyl groups. The carboxylic acid is named by adding the suffix “-dioic acid”. This gives the name of carboxylic acid as butanedioic acid.
Looking for substituents it is found that there is a hydroxyl group at the second carbon atom. Hence, the IUPAC name of the malic acid is 2-hydroxybutanoic acid.
IUPAC name of malic acid is given.
(d)
Interpretation:
IUPAC name for the tartaric acid has to be given.

Answer to Problem 16.34EP
IUPAC name of tartaric acid is 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid.
Explanation of Solution
Structure of tartaric acid is,
The longest continuous carbon chain has to be found out with the carboxyl group in it. In this it is a four carbon chain. The parent alkane is butane. The given structure contains two carboxyl groups. The carboxylic acid is named by adding the suffix “-dioic acid”. This gives the name of carboxylic acid as butanedioic acid.
Looking for substituents it is found that there are two hydroxyl groups present, each at the second carbon atom and third carbon atom. Hence, the IUPAC name of the tartaric acid is 2,3-dihydroxybutanoic acid.
IUPAC name of tartaric acid is given.

- The emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes.
