Decarboxylation of all six possible forms of diaminobenzoic acid \(C_6H_3(NH_2)2COOH\) yields three products A, B and C. Three acids give a product ‘A’, two acids give a product ‘B’ and one acid gives a product ‘C’. The melting point of product ‘C’ is
- 63ºC
- 90ºC
- 104ºC
- 142ºC
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Melting point of product (C) = \(142\degree\;C\)
Hence, the correct option is (D): \(142\degree C\)

Uses of Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acid makes up a series of fatty acids that is essential for human health. Some carboxylic acids such as omega-6 and omega-3 are not produced in the human body. This carboxylic acid helps in maintaining the cell membrane and control nutrient use along with metabolism. It is essential to consume those foods which have fatty acids.
- In food industries, organic acids are used to produce vinegar, sodium salts and other soft drinks and sodium benzoate is used to preserve foods.
- In chemical industries, Acetic is used to produce dye-stuff, perfumes and rayon’s etc.
- In rubber making industry, Acetic acids are used to manufacture the rubber
- To manufacture the soaps and detergents carboxylic acids such as stearic acids are the most important acid
- Hexanedioic acid is used during manufacturing of nylon in nylon industries
- Esters of benzoic acids are used to make perfume, body mist, etc.
- In drug-making industries, acetylsalicylic acid is used to produce aspirin, phenacetin, etc.
