Question
Chapter U2.40, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation : Whether molecular formula of a compound can help in predicting the smell of a compound is to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Molecules smell differently. The chemistry behind smell is very complicated. There are many evidences that can help predicting smell. These are molecular formula,
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Molecular formula of a compound may give some indication of the kind of smell the compounds may have. For example, if the compound has 2 O atoms it may smell sweet or putrid as in esters and acids. If it has 1 N atom as in
Molecular formula is helpful in predicting only fishy smell accurately. It does not help in distinguishing sweet, putrid, minty and camphor smells.
Conclusion
Thus, molecular formula is valuable at times in predicting smell of some molecules like that of amines.
