Answer to Problem 16E
Explanation of Solution
The structural formula belongs to carboxylic acid family as it has
The structural formula of the compound has three carbon atoms longest chain which also includes
Conclusion:
Therefore, structurla formula belongs to carboxylic acid family. The structural formula of the compound is,
(b)
Answer to Problem 16E
Explanation of Solution
Esters are the organic compounds which are formed by the reaction of alcohols and carboxylic acid reaction, this reaction is also known as esterification reaction. When an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid the nucleophilic substitution takes place. The reaction can be written as,
The general molecular formula to identify an ester is
The structural formula of the compound is,
Conclusion:
Therefore structurla formula belongs to an ester family. The structural formula of the compound is,
(c)
Answer to Problem 16E
Explanation of Solution
Alcohols: The hydrocarbons in which hydrogen atom is replaced by hydroxy
Methanol is the first member of alcohol family it has

(f)
Answer to Problem 16E
The structural formula of the compound is
c
Explanation of Solution
Amides: These organic compounds are synthesized by the condensation reaction of carboxylic acids and amines. The functional group
A tertiary amine does not react with carboxylic acids; hence, no amide formation takes place. However, primary and secondary amines react with carboxylic acid and gives
The given structural formula belongs to the class of amides, which is formed by the reaction of acetic acid with methyl amine. The structural formula of the compound is,
Conclusion:
Therefore, structurla formula belongs to an amide family of organic compounds. The structural formula of the compound is
