What type of acid is propanoic acid?
Propionic acid is a short-chain saturated fatty acid comprising ethane attached to the carbon of a carboxy group. It has a role as an antifungal drug. It is a short-chain fatty acid and a saturated fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of a propionate.
Why is propanoic acid a weak acid?
While in case of propanoic acid the carbon atom of the carboxylic group is attached with SP3 hybridised carbon atom hence the electronegativity of both carbon atoms are same so the removal of H+ ion becomes difficult. Hence Acrylic acid is more acidic than propanoic acid. Allow me to split hairs.
