Chloroheptanoicacid

Answer 1

Molecular Formula‎: ‎C7H15Br Safety Summary‎: ‎Laboratory Chemical Safety ...

Molecular Weight‎: ‎179.101 g/mol

Answer 2

Answer -

a) 1 - Bromoheptane

Formula - $C_{7}H_{15}Br$

Explanation -

》Bromine is present on the first carbon, so we can place it on any side.

b) 5 - Chloroheptanoic acid
