Writing molecular formula
for Alcohols and
Carboxylic Acids
Alcohols
• Alcohols have the general formula CnH2n+1OH
• Example: propanol ( C3H5OH)
By using the general formula we
know that a compound with 3C’s
would have 7 hydrogens. We also
know the compound’s molecular
formula ends in OH
Practice
• Using the general formula of alcohols, write the molecular formula of
1. Butanol-4 carbons
2. Hexanol-6 carbons
Carboxylic acids
• Carboxylic acids have the general formula CnH2n+1COOH
In carboxylic acids the CnH2n+1COOH
accounts for one of the carbon atoms and
one of the hydrogen atoms.
So in writing molecular formula we must
remember to deduct one carbon and
Hydrogen from the root formula
CnH2n+1COOH
Writing the molecular formula for a
carboxylic acid with 3 Carbons
C2H5COOH
Practice
• Using the general formula of carboxylic acids, write the molecular formula
of;
1. Butanoic acid-4 carbons
2. Propanoic acid-5 carbons
