C12H24O2
Looks pretty molecular to me!
No, lauric acid is not ionic. It is a saturated fatty acid with a long hydrocarbon chain and a carboxylic acid group, making it a covalent molecule.
The molecular size of lauric acid is approximately 200 g/mol. A Whatman filter paper with a pore size of 2-4 microns would be suitable for filtering lauric acid, as it can effectively trap particles of this size during the filtration process.
Yes it is. It is composed of a non-polar carbon chain with a polar COOH head.
Polar covalent bonds are stronger in Lauric Acid compared to water. This is because the electronegativity difference between the atoms involved in the polar covalent bonds is higher in Lauric Acid than in water, leading to stronger bonds in Lauric Acid.
Any kind of acid should be a molecular compound because molecular compounds consists of the combination of non metals. An ionic compound would consist of a metal and a nonmetal, but all acids have the element "H" followed by a gas and are therefor not ionic compounds.
