(b) If 0.5 mole of a mono-alkanoic acid weighs 44g, determine the molecular formula and the name of the acid. (H = 1, C = 12, O = 16)
(a) A naturally-occurring acid
Ethanoic acid (found in vinegar). Other acceptable examples are methanoic acid (in ant stings), citric acid (in citrus fruits) and lactic acid (in sour milk).
