A certain compound was found to have the molecular formula C5H12O2. To which of the following compound classes could the compoun

IgorC [24]

Answer : The given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.

Explanation :

The chemical formula of the given compound is, $C_5H_{12}O_2$

First we have to calculate the degree of unsaturation.

Formula used:

Degree of unsaturation = $\frac{2C+2+N-X-H}{2}$

where,

C = number of carbon

H = number of hydrogen

N = number of nitrogen

X = number of halogen

Degree of unsaturation = $\frac{2\times 5+2+0-0-12}{2}=0$

The degree of unsaturation is, 0 that means there is no double or triple bond in the compound only single bond is present between the atoms.

Thus, the given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.
