MCQ
Molecular formula of amyl alcohol is
  • A
    ${C_7}{H_{14}}O$
  • B
    ${C_6}{H_{13}}O$
  • ${C_5}{H_{12}}O$
  • D
    ${C_5}{H_{10}}O$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${C_5}{H_{12}}O$
c
Amyl denotes the straight chain of pentyl radical $\left(- C _5 H _{11}\right)$. Amyl alcohol has an $- OH$ group with pentyl radical. Hence, the formula is $C _5 H _{12} O$.

Consider the following single step reaction in gas phase at constant temperature.

$2 \mathrm{~A}_{(\mathrm{g})}+\mathrm{B}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{(\mathrm{g})}$

The initial rate of the reaction is recorded as $r_1$ when the reaction starts with $1.5 \mathrm{~atm}$ pressure of $\mathrm{A}$ and $0.7 \mathrm{~atm}$ pressure of B. After some time, the rate $r_2$ is recorded when the pressure of $C$ becomes $0.5 \mathrm{~atm}$. The ratio $r_1: r_2$ is $\qquad$ $\times 10^{-1}$.
