OH

IUPAC Name: 3-hydroxybutanoic acid

7.

2-hydroxybenzoic acid
8. 3-Phenylpropanoic acid
9. 3,3-Dimethylbutanoic acid
10. The structure of Hexane-1, 6-dioic acid is:
HOOC- (CH2)4 - COOH

11.

IUPAC Name: Ethyl-4-chlorobenzoate

12.
(c) Benzoic acid
Explanation:
Alkylbenzenes having at least one alpha hydrogen when reacts with KMnO4 then, alkyl group oxidises to COOH group.

 C6H5C2H5 + KMnO4 → C6H5COOH

13.
(d) positional isomers
Explanation:

Thus, C H 3 C H − OH and CH3-CH2-CH2OH are positional isomers(differs in position of functional group).

C H3

14. (a) saponification

Explanation: Base hydrolysis of ester produces the salt of carboxylic acid and alcohols as the product, and soaps are salts of
carboxylic acids. Therefore, this reaction is called a saponification reaction.
15.
(b) Benzoic acid
Explanation: Oxidation of aromatic alkanes with KMnO4 to give carboxylic acids.
Description: Treatment of an alkylbenzene with potassium permanganate results in oxidation to give the benzoic acid.
