Interpretation:
Whether the statement.
The general name of an aliphatic
Concept Introduction:
Alkanoic acid is the IUPAC name of carboxylic acid.
- First choose the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms having carboxyl group known as parent chain.
- The numbering of parent chain should be done in a way that the carboxyl group and substituents get the lowest number.
- The root name of the carbon chain is “oic” acid.
- The appropriate name should be given to every alkyl group and denote its position on the parent chain with the number.
- The alkyl groups are written in alphabetical order.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement.
A molecule containing two COOH groups is called a dicarboxylic acid is true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Carboxylic acids containing two COOH groups are known as dicarboxylic acid.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement.
Ethanedioic (oxalic acid) acid is the simplest dicarboxylic acid is true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Oxalic acid contains total two carbon atoms. It’s IUPAC name is ethanedioic acid, here dioic represents the two carboxyl groups.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement.
3-Methylbutanoic acid is chiral is true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Chiral molecules are those in which there are four different groups attached tetrahedrally.
(e)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement.
The simplest carboxylic acid is methanoic acid (common name: formic acid), HCOOH is true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Formic acid is a carboxylic acid with one carbon.
(f)

- I need help with the followingarrow_forwardFor Raman spectroscopy/imaging, which statement is not true regarding its disadvantages? a) Limited spatial resolution. b) Short integration time. c) A one-dimensional technique. d) Weak signal, only 1 in 108 incident photons is Raman scattered. e) Fluorescence interference.arrow_forwardUsing a cell of known pathlength b = 1.25115 x 10-3 cm, a water absorption spectrum was measured. The band at 1645 cm-1, assigned to the O-H bending, showed an absorbance, A, of 1.40. a) Assuming that water density is 1.00 g/mL, calculate the water molar concentration c (hint: M= mole/L) b) Calculate the molar absorptivity, a, of the 1645 cm-1 band c) The transmitted light, I, can be written as I= Ioexp(-xb), where x is the absorption coefficient (sometimes designated as alpha), Io is the input light, and b is the cell pathlength. Prove that x= (ln10)*x*c. (Please provide a full derivation of the equation for x from the equation for I). d) Calculate x for the 1645 cm-1 bandarrow_forward
- For CARS, which statement is not true regarding its advantages? a) Contrast signal based on vibrational characteristics, no need for fluorescent tagging. b) Stronger signals than spontaneous Raman. c) Suffers from fluorescence interference, because CARS signal is at high frequency. d) Faster, more efficient imaging for real-time analysis. e) Higher resolution than spontaneous Raman microscopy.arrow_forwardDraw the major product of the Claisen condensation reaction between two molecules of this ester.
