Chapter 17, Problem 17.11P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The structural formula for monopotassium oxalate has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl attached to a hydroxyl group as shown below,
Carboxylic acid salts are the neutral compounds which are formed by the reaction of carboxylic acid with a strong base.
The Structural formula of a compound shows how the atoms are arranged in a molecule and, in particular, shows which functional groups are present.
