One molecule of compound R is shown. [Figure 29.1] What is the name of compound R and how does its boiling point compare with that of butanoic acid?
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
Aname of R: methyl propanoate, boiling point of R: higher than butanoic acid
Bname of R: methyl propanoate, boiling point of R: lower than butanoic acid
Cname of R: propyl methanoate, boiling point of R: higher than butanoic acid
Dname of R: propyl methanoate, boiling point of R: lower than butanoic acid
✓ Correct answer
D: name of R: propyl methanoate, boiling point of R: lower than butanoic acid
