Vedclass · Answer

(D) Monocarboxylic acids contain only one $-COOH$ group in their structure.$A$. Malonic acid $(HOOC-CH_2-COOH)$ is a dicarboxylic acid,while propionic acid $(CH_3-CH_2-COOH)$ is a monocarboxylic acid.$B$. Valeric acid $(CH_3(CH_2)_3COOH)$ is a monocarboxylic acid,while succinic acid $(HOOC-(CH_2)_2-COOH)$ is a dicarboxylic acid.$C$. Acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$ is a monocarboxylic acid,while adipic acid $(HOOC-(CH_2)_4-COOH)$ is a dicarboxylic acid.$D$. Butyric acid $(CH_3(CH_2)_2COOH)$ and caproic acid $(CH_3(CH_2)_4COOH)$ both contain only one $-COOH$ group,so they are both monocarboxylic acids.
