Answer:
Platoic Acid
Explanation:
While naming Carboxylic Acids we know that when the Carboxylic Acid looses proton it is converted into corresponding conjugate base called as Carboxylate.
Examples:
HCOOH → HCOO⁻ + H⁺
Formic acid Formate Ion
H₃CCOOH → H₃CCOO⁻ + H⁺
Acetic acid Acetate Ion
H₅C₂COOH → H₅C₂COO⁻ + H⁺
Propanoic acid Propanoate Ion
Therefore, if the conjugate base is Platoate then the corresponding acid will be Platoic Acid means we will replace the -ate by -ic acid i.e.
RCOO⁻ + H⁺ → RCOOH
Platoate Ion Platoic Acid
