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 $C _5 H _{12} O$.
