(a)
Interpretation:
Physical state at room temperature for oxalic acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Physical property of
(b)
Interpretation:
Physical state at room temperature for decanoic acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Physical property of carboxylic acid is decided by the carbon chain and the functional group. Carboxylic acids are highly polar, as the carboxyl group is more polar. Due to this polar nature, the melting and boiling point are very high. Monocarboxylic acids that are unsubstituted which contains up to nine carbon atoms are present in liquid state. They have very sharp odor. Monocarboxylic acids that have more than ten carbon atoms in an unbranched fashion are waxy solids. They do not have any odor because of low volatility. Similar to this, dicarboxylic acids and aromatic carboxylic acids do not have any odor and they are solids.
(c)
Interpretation:
Physical state at room temperature for hexanoic acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:

- Don't used Ai solutionarrow_forwardDon't used Ai solutionarrow_forward5. A solution of sucrose is fermented in a vessel until the evolution of CO2 ceases. Then, the product solution is analyzed and found to contain, 45% ethanol; 5% acetic acid; and 15% glycerin by weight. If the original charge is 500 kg, evaluate; e. The ratio of sucrose to water in the original charge (wt/wt). f. Moles of CO2 evolved. g. Maximum possible amount of ethanol that could be formed. h. Conversion efficiency. i. Per cent excess of excess reactant. Reactions: Inversion reaction: C12H22O11 + H2O →2C6H12O6 Fermentation reaction: C6H12O6 →→2C2H5OH + 2CO2 Formation of acetic acid and glycerin: C6H12O6 + C2H5OH + H₂O→ CH3COOH + 2C3H8O3arrow_forward
