Answer to Problem 11LC

The general formula of ether is R-O-R

Explanation of Solution

The general formula of ether is given as R-O-R where R is the alkyl group. The R in the general formula represents the alky group.

  C2H52O is an ether also known as Diethyl Ether. The IUPAC name is ethoxy ethane.

Similarly, Dimethyl methane which is known as Methoxy methane is given by the formula CH32O .

Conclusion

The general formula of Ether is R-O-R. Generally, IUPAC name of ether is given as “alkoxy alkane”. The suffix will be “ether”. The IUPAC name will depend on the R group in the general formula.
