Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structural formula for the compound hexanoic acid is to be written.
Concept introduction:
The characteristic functional group of carboxylic acids is the carboxyl group. To write a formula of carboxylic acid using the IUPAC system, the longest carbon chain including the carboxyl group is considered.
(b)

- Which one is most, and least polar among acetic acid, salicylic acid, and acetylsalicylic acid? I googled a lot, and they said salicylic acid is more polar than acetylsalicylic acid because of the -OH group, and acetic acid is more polar than salicylic acid because salicylic acid has benzene ring. So it says acetic>salicylic>acetylsalicylic. But my another research says dipole moments of them are 1.74D, 2.65D, and 6.49D, and I know bigger dipole moments, more polar. So it says acetic<salicylic<acetylsalicylic. I'm confused by this.

- The amount of tartaric acid is responsible for the tartness of wine and controls the acidity of the wine. Tartaric acid also plays a very significant role in the overall taste, feel and color of a wine. Tartaric acid is a diprotic organic acid The chemical formula for tartaric acid is C4H6O6 and its structural formula is HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H. A 50.00 mL sample of a white dinner wine required 21.48 mL of 0.03776 M NaOH to achieve a faint pink color. Express the acidity of the wine in terms of grams of tartaric acid, H2C4H4O6 (M. M. = 150.10) per 100 mL of wine. Assume that the two acidic hydrogens are titrated at the end point. MM H2C4H4O6 = 150.10 MM NaOH = 40.00 Below is the balanced chemical equation for this titration.arrow_forward1.
