Propanoic acid is produced when?
Correct answer: C. Ethyl MgBr reacts with CO2
- A. Methyl MgBr reacts with CO2
- B. Isopropyl MgBr reacts with CO2
- C. Ethyl MgBr reacts with CO2
- D. Propyl MgBr reacts with CO2
Explanation
Ethyl magnesium bromide is an organometallic compound that reacts with carbon dioxide (CO2) through a Grignard reaction. The ethyl group (-CH2CH3) from ethyl magnesium bromide becomes incorporated into the formed carboxylic acid.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
