Chapter 2, Problem 119RQ
The following are models of molecules of two compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The one on the left is ethanol, the alcohol that’s added to gasoline with the hope of reducing our dependence on foreign oil supplies. The one on the right is dimethyl ether, a compound that is a gas at room temperature and is used as an aerosol propellant. How many atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are in each of these molecules? Find a way to write the formula of one of them using parentheses so that the two compounds can be distinguished one from the other.
