Respuesta :

Alcohols. C3H7OH is an alcohol named propanol.

Answer:

It must be an alcohol.

For a compound to be carbohydrate it must have a carbonyl group and at least one hydroxyl group. so the compound will have more than one oxygen atoms.

A hydrocarbon cannot have an oxygen in its molecular formula.

Hence the compound must be alcohol.

Also the general molecular formula of monohydric alcohol is CₙH₂ₙO, Which fits the given compound.
