Abstract
Mono- and dicarboxylic acids formed from elemental carbon and water by arc-discharge experiments show a systematic decreases along with an i ncrease in the carbon number. The formation of carbon chains of these acids likely proceeded by a progressive additon of one carbon species; this process is discussed in relation to those acids found in carbona ceous chondrites.
