2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.
Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.
A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.
Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.
Full question :
Q. Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

The change in the velocity = 4 m/s
Acceleration = 4 m/s²
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
vo = initial velocity = 4 m/s
vf = final velocity = 8 m/s
t = 1 s
Required
The change in the velocity
Acceleration
Solution
the change in velocity =
Acceleration = ratio of a change in velocity and the time
Input the value :
