Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a saturated carboxylic acid?
  • Step 1: Understand what a carboxylic acid is. A carboxylic acid is a type of organic compound that contains a carboxyl group (-COOH).
  • Step 2: Know what saturated means. A saturated compound has no double or triple bonds between carbon atoms; all carbon atoms are connected by single bonds.
  • Step 3: Identify the options given in the question. Look for the names of the acids provided.
  • Step 4: Check each option to see if it is a carboxylic acid and if it is saturated. For example, hexanoic acid has a straight chain of carbon atoms with single bonds.
  • Step 5: Confirm that hexanoic acid is a carboxylic acid because it has the -COOH group and is saturated because it only has single bonds.
