Which of the following is not the physical property of acetic acid?
Correct answer: D. Takes part in the metabolism of one-carbon compounds.
- A. It is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 118° C.
- B. It is miscible with water, alcohol and ether in all proportions.
- C. It is used in the manufacture of pickles.
- D. Takes part in the metabolism of one-carbon compounds.
Explanation
Ethanoic acid, often known as acetic acid, has a strong vinegar odor and a sour flavor. It is a colorless, transparent liquid. It is also used in the manufacture of pickles.Folate is a key element that takes part in the one-carbon metabolism (a series of interlinking metabolic pathways that provides 1C units (methyl groups) for the synthesis of DNA, polyamines, amino acids, creatine, and phospholipids).

About Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids are named and studied through the combined effects of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, their preparation, acidity and hydrogen bonding. Reactions include neutralisation, esterification, reduction and conversion into acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters and amides, with emphasis on how these derivatives interconvert.
