Thus molecular formula of alcohol which can be derived from butane is C_4H_9OH

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} and they are called as alkanes. Butane is an alkane containing four carbon atoms with molecular formula C_4H_{10}.

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_9OH
