Why pKa of propiolic acid is significantly lower than the pKa of propanoic acid?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
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

What reactant is needed to combine pentanol to produce pentyl propanoate?
The reactant needed to combine pentanol to produce pentyl propanoate is propanoic acid. Pentanol and propanoic acid react in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, to form water and pentyl propanoate.
