Explain why caprylic acid,
(a) With two oxygens, the caprylic acid is about twice as polar as the caprylaldehyde.
(b) The caprylaldehyde is a gas at room temperature.
(c) The caprylaldehyde behaves as a reducing agent, which neutralizes the sodium hydroxide.
(d) The caprylic acid reacts to form the water-soluble salt.
