Which acid is the manufacture of synthetic rubber ?
Correct answer: A. Acetic acid
- A. Acetic acid
- B. Formic acid
- C. Carbonic acid
- D. Benzoic acid
Explanation
Acetic acid is used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber as an industrial raw material and processing chemical in the relevant textbook context. Formic acid is mainly associated with leather, textile and preservative uses, while benzoic acid is chiefly a preservative. The likely mistake is choosing formic acid because it is another important industrial organic acid, without matching the stated synthetic-rubber use.

About Nomenclature, Structure and Preparation
Carboxylic acids are prepared by oxidising primary alcohols or aldehydes, hydrolysing nitriles, esters and amides, and carbonating suitable organometallic compounds. Their structures, IUPAC naming, resonance stabilisation and acidic character explain why carboxylic acids differ from alcohols and phenols, despite all containing oxygen and hydrogen.
