Which is more acidic butanoic acid or 3 methyl butanoic acid?
Butanoic acid is more acidic. Presence of electron donating methyl group (as in 3-methyl butanoic acid) will decrease the acidity.
How to obtain 2-butanoic acid from chloroethane?
add water
What is the product of the reaction between butanoic acid and amyl alcohol?
Amyl butyrate an ester that is formed when pentanol is reacted with butyric acid, in order this reaction to proceed the presence of acid like H2SO4 is needed
What is butryic acid?
It's butanoic acid (C4H7COOH).
Which is the most water soluble butane or butanoic acid?
Acetic acid. While all are soluble in water, the longer chains in pentanoic and octanoic acid create significant dispersion interactions, decreasing their solubility in water compared to the smaller acetic acid molecule. Source: college chemistry student.
Can butanoic acid prepared from carbon dioxide and water?
no

What is the euation for the hydrolysis of the ester n-propyl butanoate CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH2CH3?
you would get pentylbutanoate from that reaction
What acid is found in rancid rotting butter?
I think it is an acid but you will have to check on that
Is c4h8o2 propanoic acid?
No, C3H7COOH is butanoic acid (butyric acid) or propanecarboxylic acid
What is the chemical symbol for butanoic acid?
C3h7cooh
What is thhe chemical formula of butanoic acid?
Ch3ch2ch2cooh
What happens when butonoic acid and sodium hydroxide mix together?
Assuming that the questioner meant "butanoic acid", the answer is that a salt, sodium butanoate, is formed along with water.
