Vinegar and butter are the sources for which of the following carboxylic acids respectively?
  1. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}$
  2. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}$
  3. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH},\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CHCOOH}$
  4. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH},\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CHCOOH}$

Solution

Vinegar $=$ acetic acid $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\right)$ Butter = Butyric acid $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}\right)$
