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 :

Answer
is: volume is 20 mL.<span>
c</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 2,5 M.<span>
c</span>₂(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M.<span>
V</span>₂(CH₃COOH) = 100 mL.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = ?<span>
c</span>₁(CH₃COOH) · V₁(CH₃COOH)
= c₂(CH₃COOH) · V₂(CH₃COOH).<span>
2,5 M · V</span>₁(CH₃COOH)
= 0,5 M · 100 mL.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M · 100 mL ÷ 2,5 M.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 20 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L =0,02 L.
