Q
Q: What is the general formula for aldehydes? (2023)
Solution:
The general formula for aldehydes is C_nH_(2n+1)CHO, where n is the number of carbon atoms.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that aldehydes are a type of organic compound.
Step 2: Know that the general formula for aldehydes involves carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms.
Step 3: The formula is written as C_nH_(2n+1)CHO.
Step 4: In this formula, 'n' represents the number of carbon atoms in the aldehyde.
Step 5: The 'CHO' part indicates the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydrogen atom (H) at the end of the carbon chain.
