Finding alcohol formulae
Both my mum and I have looked everywhere and cannot find what I need.
I have to find the alcohol formulas for; Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol, Pentanol, Hexanol, Heptanol and Octanol. We have found chemical tables and compounds but not specifically any containing alcohol. Please can you help or tell me where i could look. Thank you.
