The chemical formula of the stearic acid is CH3(CH2)16-COOH. The carboxylic group (COOH) has an acidic character.
Carboxylic acid group (-COOH) and amine group (-NH2) are in proteins. All amino acids are having these functional group with its specific prosthetic group. For example Glycine and Alanine will be the same structure except the side chain H in case of glycine and CH3 in case of alanine.
In the R group which may be H, CH3 , C2H5, etc.
It is the butyl ester of acetic acid so on hydrolysis it produces Acetic acid , CH3-COOH
The structural formula is CH3COOCH2CH3
C4H8O2 , CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH Butyric acid and CH3-CH(CH3)-COOH isobutyric acid.
There are 4 isomers of carboxylic acids for this formula CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-COOH pentanoic acid, CH3-CH(CH3)-CH2-COOH 3-methyl butanoic acid, CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-COOH 2-methyl butanoic acid and CH3-C(CH3)2-COOH dimethyl propanoic acid.
NO!!! Pyruvic acid is a keto acid. It has the structure CH3 - C(=O) - COOH
CH3-COOH
It's covalent
acetic acid(ch3-cooh)
NaHCO3 + CH3 COOH ---> CH3 COO NA + H2O + CO2
Acetic acid
aldehydes oxidized to monocarboxylic acids... CH3-CHO +(O) = CH3-COOH
Generally amino acids have an Amino group (-NH2) and a Carboxyl group (-COOH) attached to the same carbon atom, which is also called as Alpha carbon. Besides Hydrogen and R-Group is also attached with this carbon atom. R may be hydrogen, CH3 or any other group. For Example:If R-group is hydrogen then it is called glycine or if it is CH3 then it is called alanine.
Acetyl acetic acid is CH3-CO-CH2-COOH
if a compound has carbon in it it is organic chemistry.
