Question

What kind of hydrocarbon is this? C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-OH

Please help ASAP

Answer 1

1-Octanol

Step-by-step explanation:

Count the amount of carbon atoms in the chain. Nomenclature includes the position of the largest functional group position in the molecule.

In this case the carbon chain has 8 carbon atoms and one hydroxide functional group (OH)

1 (hydroxide is listed first in the carbon chain) - Oct(8 carbons) + anol (Alkanol hydrocarbon with a hydroxide group, use anol suffix )

= 1 - Octanol
