Explanation:

Are you asking if that is the formula for caprylic acid? The answer is yes. CH₃(CH₂)₆COOH is the correct formula.

Caprylic acid, also known as C8 or octanoic acid, is a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) primarily found in coconut oil. It's the shortest of all the MCTs, making it the easiest for the body to break down into fuel. Once it is consumed, C8 is instantly digested and converted into ketones.
