Within the options, we have four organic compounds. Let's see what the skeletal structure of the compounds is in order to identify them better:
The first compound CH3OCH3 has two methyl groups linked by a carbon atom, this type of compound is called an Ether
The second compound has a double bond, it is badly written but it seems that is an alkene.
The third compound has two methyl groups linked by nitrogen atoms, therefore will be an amine.
The last compound has a hydroxyl group, therefore it is an alcohol
Answer:
CH3OCH3 Ether
CH2CH2CHCH2CH3 Alkene
CH3NHCH3 Amine
CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3 Alcohol
There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products
Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction
Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products
You can balance,
1)by just looking at it
2)by Algebraic method given above or
3)by the redox method
You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method
