Two organic acids have the molecular formula `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)` and `C_(2)H_(2)O_(4)`. Write the structural formula for the acids. What will the equivalent weights of the acids?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify the structural formulas for the two organic acids with the given molecular formulas and then calculate their equivalent weights. ### Step 1: Identify the structural formula for C₂H₄O₂ The molecular formula C₂H₄O₂ corresponds to acetic acid (ethanoic acid). The structural formula can be represented as: - **Structural Formula**: CH₃COOH ### Step 2: Identify the structural formula for C₂H₂O₄ The molecular formula C₂H₂O₄ corresponds to oxalic acid. The structural formula can be represented as: ...
