Interpretation:
The formula of organic ion in the solution of potassium acetate and disodium glutarate has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Carboxylic acid: One
Dicarboxylic Acid: compounds having two
Carboxylic acid salt: It is an ionic compound having a carboxylate acid anion and a cation. It is formed when a carboxylic acid and a strong base reacts giving water.
Carboxylic acid salts are written as name of cation in prefix and base name with “-oate” suffix.
