Question

The general molecular formula, which represents the homologous series of alkanols is : (A) CnH2nO2 (B) CnH2nO (C) CnH2n+1O (D) CnH2n+2O

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Alkanols are the derivatives of alkanes which are derived by the replacement of -H of alkanes with -OH (hydroxyl groups). AlkanesCnH2n+2 xrightarrow[+OH]-H CnH2n+1OH or CnH2n+2O

Q. The general molecular formula, which represents the homologous series of alkanols is :

$C_{n} H_{2 n} O_{2}$

$C_{n} H_{2 n} O$

$C_{n} H_{2 n + 1} O$

$C_{n} H_{2 n + 2} O$

Alkanols are the derivatives of alkanes which are derived by the replacement of $- H$ of alkanes with $- O H$ (hydroxyl groups). $_{A l kan es}^{C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}} - H + O H C_{n} H_{2 n + 1} O H or C_{n} H_{2 n + 2} O$
