Reaction

Can Acrylic acid be decarboxylated? Like this СН2=СН-СООNa + NaOH = C2H4 + Na2CO3 123.118.84.142 (talk) 10:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Flash Point

Is the flash point of 68 C correct? Can anyone provide a link to an MSDS with that datum? All the MSDSs I find point closer to 50 C. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.28.0.14 (talk) 15:27, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

IUPAC Name

I don't see why the 2 is needed in prop-2-enoic acid. Where would the double bond otherwise be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.151.37.123 (talk) 09:31, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

The locant is arguably superfluous, but it is nevertheless used per IUPAC rules. The locant precedes the root (see https://www.chem.uiuc.edu/GenChemReferences/nomenclature_rules.html) "The position of the multiple bond(s) within the parent chain is(are) indicated by placing the number(s) of the first carbon of the multiple bond(s) directly in front of the base name.")

manufacturing quota is inconsitent

on this page it says 1 million tons are produced annually. on the page for CO2, it lists acrylic acid as being produced at 5 million tons a year 216.15.92.2 (talk) 18:02, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
