Which among the following is dicarboxylic acid?

Solution:

Concept:

Dicarboxylic acids contain two

-\mathrm{COOH}

groups in their molecule.

Explanation:

Valeric acid, caproic acid, and butyric acid each have only one

-\mathrm{COOH}

group, so they are monocarboxylic acids.

Glutaric acid is

\mathrm{HOOC}{-}\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_3{-}\mathrm{COOH}

, which contains two

-\mathrm{COOH}

groups.

Therefore, glutaric acid is a dicarboxylic acid.
