Propionic acid and KOH reacts to produce which one of the following?

Carboxylic acids react with alcoholic potassium hydroxide and leads to the formation of salt along with water like in a normal acid base reaction. Propionic acid is also a carboxylic acid and it reacts with potassium hydroxide and gives us a salt of potassium and water. The salt thus formed is potassium propionate. The reaction is - 3 2 3 2 2 CH CH COOH KOH CH CH COOK H O -> Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) potassium propionate
