The general molecular formula, which represents the homologous series of alkanols is:
Options
- AC _n H _ 2 n+2 O
- BC _n H _ 2 n O ₂
- CC _n H _ 2 n O
- DC _n H _ 2 n+1 O
Correct answer
A. C _n H _ 2 n+2 O
Step-by-step solution
Alkanols are the derivatives of alkanes which are derived by the replacement of the - H of alkanes with the - OH (hydroxyl) group.
