The general molecular formula, which represents the homologous series of alkanols is:The general molecular formula, which represents the homologous series of alkanols is:

Options

  1. ACnH2n+2O\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2 n+2} \mathrm{O}
  2. BCnH2nO2\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2 n} \mathrm{O}_2
  3. CCnH2nO\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2 n} \mathrm{O}
  4. DCnH2n+1O\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2 n+1} \mathrm{O}

Correct answer

A. CnH2n+2O\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2 n+2} \mathrm{O}

Step-by-step solution

Alkanols are the derivatives of alkanes which are derived by the replacement of the −H-\mathrm{H} of alkanes with the −OH-\mathrm{OH} (hydroxyl) group. The general molecular formula, which represents the homologous series of alkanols is:
