Concept Introduction:
Alkanoic acid is the IUPAC name of carboxylic acid.
- First choose the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms having carboxyl group known as parent chain.
- The numbering of parent chain should be done in a way that the carboxyl group and substituents get the lowest number.
- The root name of the carbon chain is “oic” acid.
- The appropriate name should be given to every alkyl group and denote its position on the parent chain with the number.
- The alkyl groups are written in alphabetical order.

A molecule containing two COOH groups is called a dicarboxylic acid is true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Carboxylic acids containing two COOH groups are known as dicarboxylic acid.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement.
Ethanedioic (oxalic acid) acid is the simplest dicarboxylic acid is true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Oxalic acid contains total two carbon atoms. It’s IUPAC name is ethanedioic acid, here dioic represents the two carboxyl groups.

- 17-74 Glucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exists predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal shown here. We will discuss this cyclic form of glucose in Chapter 20. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. (a) Which carbon in glucose provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO group?
