What acid is found in rancid rotting butter?
I think it is an acid but you will have to check on that
COOH and NH2 are found on which types of compounds?
COOH (carboxyl) groups are found on compounds called carboxylic acids, which are organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group. NH2 (amino) groups are found on compounds called amines, which are organic compounds that contain an amino group. Both carboxylic acids and amines are commonly found in various biological molecules and have important functions.
Where does carboxylic acid come from in nature?
Different carboxylic acids are found in different places. Here are a few examples. The simplest of them, formic acid, is a component of the venom of many ants and other insects. Caproic, caprylic, and capric acids are in the skin secretions of goats. Lactic acid can be found found in sour milk, sore muscles, and the human mouth.
What is the odor produced when carboxylic acid and alcohol is mixed?
This question needs to be more specific - when a carboxylic acid and an alcohol are reacted (usually in the presence of a dehydrating agent, e.g. conc. sulfuric acid), the major product is generally an ester.Esters can have a variety of odours depending on the identity of the carboxylic acid and alcohol. The odour relates to the volatility of the ester, which allows its to be breathed into the nasal passage, and to structural complementarity between the molecule and receptors in the olfactory bulb.I've found a list of common esters and their odours at the bottom of this web page:http://www.3rd1000.com/chem301/chem301v.htmI'm sure that many other sites have more extensive information than this.
What is the functional group in ibuprofen?
The functional groups of anything are the croups that aren't normal alkane (single carbon-hydrogen bonds) groups. In the case of Ibuprofen there are two functional groups. The first is the aromatic group or Benzene ring in the centre of the structure. The second is the carboxylic acid group (Oxygen double bonded to two

Why is butter becoming rancid a chemical change?
This is a purely chemical reaction. The reason why is simply because bacteria in the butter is turning the lactose and sugars found in butter into lactic acid.

Are minerals found in butter?
Yes, minerals are found in butter.
What kind of group is a COOH group?
A carboxyl group, such as that found in "production of polymers, pharmaceuticals, solvents, and food additives." Carboxyl groups are also found in amino acid with connected to an amine group and various acids.
Is there Vitamin C in butter?

Which type of bond is found in canola oil but not in butter?

What groups of atoms are common to all amino acids?
The various amino acids are distinguished by the substitution on the central carbon atom. All amino acids feature an amine group and a carboxylic acid.
COOH and NH2 are found on which types of compounds?
COOH (carboxyl) groups are found on compounds called carboxylic acids, which are organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group. NH2 (amino) groups are found on compounds called amines, which are organic compounds that contain an amino group. Both carboxylic acids and amines are commonly found in various biological molecules and have important functions.
Which functional group will not be found on a carbohydrate molecule A Aldehyde B Carboxylic acid C Hydroxyl D Ketone?
It sort of depends on how restrictive your definition of "carbohydrate" is. If you're using it in a way synonymous with "saccharide" (common, but not necessarily the only possible definition), then they will have hydroxyl groups and might have either an aldehyde or a ketone group (or they may not, for example glucose in its hemiacetal form), but they will not have a carboxylic acid group.
