Propanoic acid can be converted to propanol through reduction. One common method involves using a reducing agent like lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) in an appropriate solvent to chemically reduce the carboxylic acid functional group to an alcohol.
The acid hydrolysis of propyl butanoate yields propanol and butanoic acid as the products. This reaction breaks down the ester bond in propyl butanoate, resulting in the formation of the alcohol propanol and the carboxylic acid butanoic acid.
Neither, it's a non-electrolyte.
The common name of propanoic acid is propionic acid.
The pH of a 1M propanoic acid solution would be around 2.98. Propanoic acid is a weak acid with a pKa value of 4.87, so at 1M concentration, it would partially dissociate in water to release hydronium ions, resulting in an acidic pH.
Methanesulfonic acid is more acidic than propanoic acid. This is because the sulfonic acid group in methanesulfonic acid is a stronger acid group compared to the carboxylic acid group in propanoic acid.
To distinguish between propanol and propanone, you can use the iodoform test. Propanone will give a positive iodoform test forming a yellow precipitate, while propanol will not react. For benzaldehyde and benzoic acid, adding NaHCO3 will effervesce with benzoic acid but not with benzaldehyde due to acidity. To differentiate between propanoic chloride and propanoic acid, adding water will form propanoic acid (carboxylic acid) while propanoic chloride (acid chloride) will liberate HCl gas forming a white precipitate. The key reactions involved are iodoform reaction (C3H6O +I2 + NaOH) and acid-base reactions with sodium bicarbonate and water.

Ethane cannot be directly prepared from sodium propionate. Sodium propionate can be converted to propanoic acid through acidification. Propanoic acid can then be decarboxylated to produce ethane, but this process involves additional steps and reagents.
It is a weak acid, as it does not dissociate completely.
The molecular mass of propanoic acid, also known as propionic acid, is approximately 74.08 g/mol.
due to propiolic acid having more s character than propanoic acid (sp hybridisation in the triple bond), it tends to be more electronegative than propanoic acid and therefore weakens the O-H bond allowing the H+ to dissociate easier, making it a stronger acid than propanoic acid
