Answer to Problem 11E
The molecular formula of given compound is C3H6O2.
Explanation of Solution
The chemical formula of a compound is also called the molecular formula. It describes the number of atoms in a molecule
Number of carbon atoms = 3
Number of hydrogen atoms = 6
Number of oxygen atoms = 2
Hence, molecular formula is C3H6O2.
(b)
Interpretation : Molecular formula of the given compound is to be written.
Concept Introduction : From the given structural formula, one can write the molecular formula by counting the number of atoms of each element in the molecule and writing the numbers as subscript to the symbols of elements.
(b)
Answer to Problem 11E
