Like acetic acid, pentanoic acid is what kind of acid?
[ "carbonic", "amino", "carboxylic", "hydroxyl" ]
C
Like acetic acid, pentanoic acid is a carboxylic acid. Unlike acetic acid, however, the alkyl group is rather large, consisting of a 4-carbon chain as in butanol. As with butanol, the nonpolar character of the alkyl group is likely to be as important as the polar character of the carboxylic acid group, making it unlike...
