Concept explainers
Interpretation: The structural formula for potassium sorbate has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl attached to a hydroxyl group as shown below,
The Structural formula of a compound shows how the atoms are arranged in a molecule and, in particular, shows which
E-Z designators are used as like cis-trans terminology for non-similar groups attached
In E-Z designations, the groups attached to vinylic positions are checked by their priority on the basis of higher molecular weight. If the higher priority groups are on the same sides, then the configuration is designated as Z. If the higher priority groups are on the opposite sides, then the configuration is designated as E.
