what is the molecular formula of the alcohol which can be derived from ethane?
Answers
Explanation:
Thus molecular formula of alcohol which can be derived from butane is C_4H_9OHC4H9OH
Explanation:
Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is C_nH_{2n+2}CnH2n+2 and they are called as alkanes. Butane is an alkane containing four carbon atoms with molecular formula C_4H_{10}C4H10 .
Alcohols are compounds which contain functional group -OH attached to an alkyl group. They are represented by general formula R-OH. It can be obtained from alkane by replacing one of the hydrogen atom.
Thus molecular formula of alcohol which can be derived from butane is C_4H_9OHC4H9OH
Answer:
R-oh is the molecular formula of the alcohol which can be derived from ethane?
