Question 1 Report

The IUPAC name for \( \mathrm{CH_3CH_2COOCH_2CH_3} \) is

Answer Details
The IUPAC name for the given molecule is ethyl propanoate. To arrive at the IUPAC name, we first identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms, which in this case is a 4-carbon chain (propane). We then identify and name the substituent groups attached to this chain, which are a methyl group (CH3) attached to the second carbon atom and an ethoxy group (OC2H5) attached to the third carbon atom. The ethoxy group is named as an ethyl group, and the entire molecule is named as ethyl propanoate, following the standard IUPAC naming conventions for esters.
