An organic compound with the formula C_(4)H_(10)O_(3) shows properties of ether and alcohol. When trated with an excess of HBr yield only one compound 1,2 dibromomethane. Write structural formula of ether and that of alcohol.

Answer»

Solution :When `C_(4)H_(10)O_(3)` is treated with excess of HBr, a single compound 1,2-dibromoethane is FORMED.
`HO-H_(2)C-CH_(2)-O-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-Ohoverset("excess of HBr")rarrunderset("1-2-Dibromoethane")(Br-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-Br)`
`:.` the structural formula of `C_(4)H_(10)O_(3)` is ltbRgt `HO-H_(2)C-CH_(2)-O-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH`
