Question
Butyric acid, CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂COOH, is a weak acid. It ionises in water to
produce butanoate and hydronium ions.
Select the correct balanced equation for the ionisation of butyric acid:
Select one:
a.
CH3CH₂CH₂COOH → CH₂CH₂CH₂COO
O b.
CH3CH₂CH₂COO + H3O+ ⇒ CH³CH₂CH₂COOH + H₂O
C.
CH3CH₂CH₂COOH CH3CH₂CH₂COO¯ + H₂O+
O d. CH3CH₂CH₂COOH + H₂O ⇒ CH₂CH₂CH₂COO¯ + H₂O+
