He aha ka waikawa propionic?
waikawa propanoic ʻIke Kumu
ʻO ka waikawa propanoic, i ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka waikawa propionic, he waikawa momona saturated kaulahao pōkole me ke ʻano kemika CH₃CH₂COOH a me ke kaumaha molekala o 7.4.08. Ma ke ʻano he electrolyte nāwaliwali (Ka = 1.34 × 10⁻⁵), hōʻike ka waikawa propanoic i ka waikawa nāwaliwali i loko o ka hopena wai akā he mea ʻino loa ia. Hiki i kona mahu ke hoʻonāukiuki i ka ʻili a me ke ala hanu. Ma lalo o ka mahana maʻamau a me ke kaomi, he wai ʻaila ʻole ka waikawa propanoic me kahi ʻala ʻawaʻawa a rancid. Hiki ke hui pū ʻia me ka wai, ethanol, chloroform, a me ether.
Hoʻohana nui ʻia ka waikawa propanoic ma ke ʻano he mea mālama meaʻai a me kahi mea antifungal. Hana pū ia ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopaʻa i nā mea viscous i loko o nā mea inu e like me ka pia, ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻoheheʻe a me ka plasticizer no ka nitrocellulose, a i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā hopena nickel-plating, nā mea ʻono meaʻai, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, nā pesticides, nā mea antifungal, a me nā huahana ʻoihana ʻē aʻe.
Ua helu ʻia ka waikawa propanoic ma ka Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals a ua hoʻoponopono ʻia ma lalo o nā Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals.
