Question

write the molecular formula of third higher homologue of ethyl alcohol​

Answer 1

Answer:

C2H5OH is the molecular formula of ethyl alcohal

Then it is extended it is written as

CH2-CH3-OH

Answer 2

The molecular formula of the third higher homologue of ethyl alcohol​ is $C_5H_{11}OH$

Explanation: A homologous series is a group of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical characteristics that might be unbranched or branched, or that differ by having a different molecular formula (CH 2) and molecular mass (14u).

We know the molecular formula of ethanol is $CH_3-CH_2-OH$

We have to find the third higher, so we have t add 3 alkyls ($-CH_2$)

This means the molecular formula will look like

$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-OH\Rightarrow C_5H_{11}OH$
