The correct structural formula of butanoic acid is

A

`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-overset(H)overset(|)C=overset(H)overset(|)C-overset(O)overset(||)C-OH`

B

`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(O)overset(||)C-OH`

C

`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-OH`

D

`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-overset(O)overset(||)C-OH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The general formula of carboxylic acid is R-COOH where R is an alkyl group. Its respresentation is

So, its formula
Because 'butane' shows presence of 4 single bonded carbon atoms 'oic acid' shows presence of `-overset(O)overset(||)C-OH` group.
