No, C3H7COOH is butanoic acid (butyric acid) or propanecarboxylic acid
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.
The hydrolysis of C4H8O2, which is butyl acetate, would yield butanol and acetic acid. This reaction involves breaking down the ester linkage in butyl acetate with water to form the alcohol butanol and the carboxylic acid acetic acid.
it is polar since it has carboxylic acid (propanoic acid) function
Yes, CH3CH2CH2COOH (propanoic acid) can undergo hydrogenation reaction to form propanoic acid. In the presence of a catalyst like platinum or palladium, the carbon-carbon double bond in the carboxylic acid can be reduced to form an alkane.
The common name of propanoic acid is propionic acid.
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.
C4H8O2 , CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH Butyric acid and CH3-CH(CH3)-COOH isobutyric acid.
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.
C4h8o2
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
Propionic acis is not a fatty acid.

To convert ethanol to propanoic acid, you can first oxidize ethanol to acetaldehyde using a strong oxidizing agent such as chromic acid. Then, further oxidize acetaldehyde to propanoic acid using a milder oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate in the presence of acidic conditions.
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.
The chemical equation for the reaction between butanoic acid (C4H8O2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) is: C4H8O2 + KOH -> C4H7O2K + H2O The products are potassium butanoate (C4H7O2K) and water (H2O).
