Answer

  1. The organic compound 'B' comprises an alcohol group. Butanol is the name of the compound, and its formula is $C _4 H _9 OH$.
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{OH}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \text{H}$
  1. The organic compound 'A' contains a carboxyl group. The name of the acid is butanoic acid, and its formula is $C_3 H_7 COOH$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{||}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{OH}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}$
  1. Compound ' C ' $\left( C _4 H _8 O \right)$, represents the molecular formula of an aldehydes as well as a ketone. The aldehyde represented by this formula is butanal $\left( C _3 H _7 CHO \right)$.
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{||}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Butanal}$ $ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{O} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{||} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Butanone}$
