1. Identify the organic compound type for each of the following (for example: ketone, ester, etc)
A. Propanol
B. CH3COOH
C. ROR
D. CH3NH2
E. Methyl methanoate
My answers:
A. Alcohol
B. Ethanol
C. Ether
D. Ammonia
E. Ester
Please help correct what I’m wrong on.
B and D are wrong.
Type in CH3COOH into Google for the name.
Type in CH3NH2 into Google for the name.
NH3 is ammonia so CH3NH2 must be another name.
For B it gave me this when I looked it up on google:
(Related Compounds)
Acetaldehyde
Acetamide
Acetic anhydride
Acetonitrile
Acetyl chloride
Ethanol
Ethyl acetate
Potassium acetate
Sodium acetate
Thioacetic acid
Which one do I go with???
I keep typing in D and it’s still saying ammonia
what is a Carboxylic acid? What is an amine?
I don't know what you're typing in for CH3COOH and you aren't looking forRELATED compounds. I get this.

Ditto for CH3NH2. I typed it in and got this.

Your answers are mostly correct, but there is one error. Let's go through each compound:
A. Propanol - Correct! Propanol is an alcohol.
B. CH3COOH - This is the chemical formula for acetic acid, which is a carboxylic acid. So, the correct answer is carboxylic acid, not ethanol.
C. ROR - This represents the general formula for an ether. You're correct!
D. CH3NH2 - This is the chemical formula for methylamine, which is an amine, not ammonia. So, the correct answer is amine.
E. Methyl methanoate - Correct! Methyl methanoate is an ester.
So, the corrected answers are:
A. Propanol - Alcohol
B. CH3COOH - Carboxylic acid
C. ROR - Ether
D. CH3NH2 - Amine
E. Methyl methanoate - Ester
