Answer 2

The IUPAC name of the organic compound will be propanoic acid.

• This is a short and straight away naming compound with just one functional group.
• We can see that the functional group present is carboxylic acid and thus the compound will be an organic acid.
• Including the carbon of carboxylic acid, there is a total of three carbons and only single bonds in the compound and thus it will be named propane.
• Combining propane and carboxylic acid's suffix, we get propanoic acid.
