Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Valeric acid commonly known as pentanoic acid, or valerianic acid is an organic compound, a carboxylic acid with the formula C5H10O2 or C4H9COOH.

It is a linear chain alkyl carboxylic acid characterized by a very unpleasant odor and is therefore frequently used in the cosmetics industry and in perfumes. It is found naturally in the plants and flowers of the valerian (Valeriana officinalis), from which it takes its name. Ethyl valerate and pentiyl valerate are also commonly used in the food industry as food additives due to their fruity flavours.
