Propanoic acid is a weak carboxylic acid.
The molecular formula of propanoic acid is C3H6O2\text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O}_2C3H6O2.
Which ion is released when propanoic acid molecules partially dissociate in aqueous solution to produce an acidic solution?
Calculate the relative formula mass (MrM_rMr) of propanoic acid (C3H6O2\text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O}_2C3H6O2).
Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): H=1\text{H} = 1H=1, C=12\text{C} = 12C=12, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16.
