Question

which of the following is the general formula of alcohols? (r represents alkyl group) roh rh rcooh ror rcho

Explanation:

Alcohols are organic compounds containing a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to an alkyl group (R). The general formula for alcohols is \( R - OH \), which is represented as \( ROH \).

• \( RH \) represents a simple hydrocarbon (alkane).
• \( RCOOH \) is the general formula for carboxylic acids (contains a -COOH group).
• \( ROR \) is the general formula for ethers (contains an -O- group between two alkyl groups).
• \( RCHO \) is the general formula for aldehydes (contains a -CHO group).

Answer:

ROH
