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.

Answer is: 0.102 moles of HCl would react.
Balanced chemical reaction:
2HCl(aq) + Sr(OH)₂ → SrCl₂(aq) + 2H₂O(l).
V(Sr(OH)₂) = 37.1 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L.
V(Sr(OH)₂) = 0.0371 L; volume of the strontium hydroxide solution.
c(Sr(OH)₂) = 0.138 M; molarity of the strontium hydroxide solution.
n(Sr(OH)₂) = c(Sr(OH)₂) · V(Sr(OH)₂).
n(Sr(OH)₂) = 0.0371 L · 0.138 mol/L.
n(Sr(OH)₂) = 0.0051 mol; amount of the strontium hydroxide.
From balanced chemical reaction: n(Sr(OH)₂) : n(HCl) = 1 : 2.
n(HCl) = 2 · n(Sr(OH)₂).
n(HCl) = 2 · 0.0051 mol.
n(HCl) = 0.0102 mol; amount of the hydrochloric acid.
The answer is c, relying on renewable energy sources
Similarities. very useful
differences. coal is a pullutant. while womd is not. i guess
It becomes a acceptor because in an ionic bonding the element who gives out is a donor while the atom which accept is a acceptor
