Complete combustion of 0.00500 mol of an organic acid produced 0.0150 mol of carbon dioxide.
The same amount of the acid required 10.0 cm3 of 1.00 mol dm−3 NaOH (aq)1.00\text{ mol dm}^{-3}\ \text{NaOH (aq)}1.00 mol dm−3 NaOH (aq) for neutralisation.
Which could be the formula of the acid?
CH3CH2COOH\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{COOH}CH3CH2COOH
HOOCCH2COOH\text{HOOCCH}_2\text{COOH}HOOCCH2COOH
HOOCCOOH\text{HOOCCOOH}HOOCCOOH
CH3COOH\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}CH3COOH
