You will smell samples of three molecules:
Vial F: Ethyl pentanoate:
C7H14O2
Vial G: Butyric acid
C4H8O2
Vial H: Ethyl acetate
C4H8O2
Predict how their smells might compare. Give evidence for your
predictions.
Team Work

Most students agreed on the following actual smells when they
opened the vials:

Vial F: sweet

Vial G: putrid

Vial H: sweet

Use this data to complete the table. Then go on and complete Part 2
of the activity (see instructions, then come back to notes on the next
slide).

Structural Formula: A drawing or diagram of a molecule that shows
how the atoms in the molecule are bonded (covalent).
Molecules with identical formulas can have different structures, giving
them different properties, like smell.
Isomers: Molecules with the same molecular formula but different
structural formulas.
Merely rotating the molecule or bonds does not change the structural
formula or properties of the molecule (1-propanol).
