Solution Steps

Step 1: Compound 10

The compound has four carbons in a chain with a double-bonded oxygen on the terminal carbon. This makes it an aldehyde, specifically butanal.

Step 2: Compound 11

The compound has a carboxylic acid functional group. Because it only has one carbon, it is formic acid or methanoic acid.

Step 3: Compound 12

The compound has a ketone functional group (internal C=O). The longest chain has three carbons, making it a propanone. It is also called acetone or dimethyl ketone.

Final Answer:

  1. Butanal
  2. Methanoic acid (or formic acid)
  3. Propanone (or acetone or dimethyl ketone)
