Question

what is homologous series which of the following organic compound belong to the same homologous series. Also identify the functional group present in each of them C2H5CHO, C2H5OH, CH3OH, C3H7OH, CH3COOH​

Answer 1

CH3OH, C2H5OH AND C3H7OH belongs to the same homologous series.

you can find that all these has a difference of CH2 molecule. and also has the same functional group.

hope it helped.

Answer 2

Homologous series

Explanation:

• The compounds which have the same general formula, are called compounds belonging to the same homologous series.
• Among the given list of compounds, the following compounds have the same general formula which is $C_nH_{(2n+1)}OH$

1. $C_nH_{(2n+1)}OH = C_2H_{(2(2)+1)}OH = C_2H_5OH$
2. $C_nH_{(2n+1)}OH = C_1H_{(2(1)+1)}OH = CH_3OH$
3. $C_nH_{(2n+1)}OH = C_3H_{(2(3)+1)}OH = C_3H_7OH$

• The above-given compounds are homologous series of alcohols as they possess the same general formula.
• The functional group present in the given compounds are as follows:

1. $C_2H_5CHO$ - Aldehyde
2. $C_2H_5OH$ - Alcohol
3. $CH_3OH$ - Alcohol
4. $C_3H_7OH$ - Alcohol
5. $CH_3COOH$ - Carboxylic acid
