Chemistry In Context
- The general formula of an alkane is CnH2n+2 . What is the general formula of an (a) alkene? (b) alkyne? (c) alcohol derived from an alkane?arrow_forward. What is the simplest aromatic alcohol commonly called? What is it mostly used for in the United States?arrow_forwardFunctionalized Hydrocarbons Identify each compound according to its functional group (e.g.,amine,ester,etc.):arrow_forward
- How does the structure of an alcohol differ from an ether? Describe how an aldehyde differs in structure from a ketone. Thiols are compounds which resemble alcohols, except that the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom. Draw the analogous thiol for the four carbon alcohol in Table 1. Describe the structural difference between carboxylic acids and esters. Are ethers polar molecules? Would you expect ethers to have higher or lower boiling points than alkanes (circle one)? Explain. Pentane (an alkane) has a boiling point of 36 °C. Does the data agree with your prediction? explain why this could be the casearrow_forward1. Why is alcohol more interesting than another Functional group of organic compounds? 2. Give a sample structure of alcohol as an organic compound in a functional mixture and give its exceptional properties and typical uses. 3. Name Products or things in which this functional group is present.arrow_forwardWhat type of molecules do organic chemists study?arrow_forward
