(a)
Interpretation:
Lewis dot structure must be drawn for methyl acetate.
Concept introduction:
A Lewis dot structure is the representation of the molecule in which all the valence electrons are used and shown as dots.

Answer to Problem 5E
Lewis dot structure of methyl acetate is given below:
Explanation of Solution
Each carbon atom has formed 4 bonds. Each O atom has formed two bonds. Each H atom has formed 1 bond. Each O atom has two lone pairs of electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
Structural formula must be drawn for the given molecular formula C3H6O2.
Concept introduction:
Structural formula is the formula of a molecule which shows the arrangements of atoms that is how all the atoms are bonded with each other.

Answer to Problem 5E
Structural formula for C3H6O2is given below.
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is an ester. The central carbon atom is bonded with carbon atom of methyl (CH3) group, O atom with a double bond and another O atom with a single bond. The two lone pairs on each O atom are shown as pair of dots.
(c)
Interpretation:
The functional group in the given molecule must be predicted.
Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 5E
In the given molecule there is ester functional group.
Explanation of Solution
Esters are acid derivative with the formula RCOOR’. Where R and R’ are alkyl, aryl or other groups.
The functional group is shown below.
(d)
Interpretation:
The name and smell of the given compound must be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Smell of a compound depends on the structure of the molecule particularly on the functional group present.

Answer to Problem 5E
The name of the compound is methyl acetate or Methyl ethanoate.
The smell is like ripe banana.
Explanation of Solution
Esters have fruity smell. The acid counterpart of the ester is obtained from acetic acid or ethanoic acid. The alcohol counterpart is obtained from methyl alcohol or methanol. Thus it is an ester of acetic acid and methyl alcohol. So, the name is methyl acetate and IUPAC name is methyl ethanoate.
It has sweet fruity smell resembling ripe banana.

Cyanohydrins are important intermediates in the synthesis of a-hydroxycarboxylic acids from ketones and aldehydes. The nitrile functional group can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acid to yield a carboxylic acid. Nitriles can also be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids using aqueous base. Unfortunately, when a cyanohydrin is treated with aqueous base the original carbonyl compound is isolated.
