(a)
Interpretation:
The name of the sodium salt of valeric acid has to be given.
Concept introduction:
In
(b)
Interpretation:
The name of the magnesium salt of lactic acid has to given.
Concept introduction:
In carboxylic acids the end of the parent name is changed from –e to –oic acid and then the substituents are numbered in alphabetical order. In case a metal ion is present, the metal is named first and the end of the name is changed from –ic to –ate.
(c)
Interpretation:
The name of the potassium salt of citric acid has to be given.
Concept introduction:
In carboxylic acids the end of the parent name is changed from –e to –oic acid and then the substituents are numbered in alphabetical order. In case a metal ion is present, the metal is named first and the end of the name is changed from –ic to –ate.
