Q38 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2023 (15 May Shift 2) · Chemistry

Vinegar and butter are the sources for which of the following carboxylic acids respectively?

A
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}$
Correct answer
B
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}$
C
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH},\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CHCOOH}$
D
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH},\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CHCOOH}$

Solution

Vinegar $=$ acetic acid $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\right)$ Butter = Butyric acid $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}\right)$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
