(a)
Interpretation:
Molecular formula of given esters is to be written.
Concept introduction:
From the given structural formula, one can write the molecular formula by counting the
Answer to Problem 5E
The molecular formula of the given ester is C8H16O2.
Explanation of Solution
The chemical formula of a compound is also called the molecular formula. It describes the formation of the molecule.
Number of carbon atoms = 8
Number of hydrogen atoms = 16
Number of oxygen atoms = 2
Hence molecular formula is C8H16O2.
(b)
Interpretation:
Molecular formula of given ester is to be written.
Concept introduction:
From the given structural formula, one can write the molecular formula by counting the number of atoms of each element in the molecule and writing the numbers as a subscript to the symbols of elements.
Answer to Problem 5E
The molecular formula of given ester is
Explanation of Solution
The chemical formula of a compound is also called the molecular formula. It describes the formation of the molecule.
Number of carbon atoms = 7
Number of hydrogen atoms = 14
Number of oxygen atoms = 2
Hence molecular formula is
(c)
