Question

Which chemical formula corresponds to this structural formula?

Answer 1

I think the answer is choice D

Answer 2

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An organic compound that contains "-OH" group as the functional group is known as an alcohol compound.

General formula of an alcohol is
`C_(n)H_(2n+1)OH`.

In the given compound there are 2 carbon atoms. So, value of n = 2.

Putting this value in the general formula as follows.

`C_(2)H_(2(2)+1)OH`

=
`C_2H_(5)OH`

or
`C_(2)H_(6)O`

Therefore, we can conclude that given compound has chemical formula
`C_(2)H_(6)O`.
