Answer: The molecular formula of the molecule is [tex]CH_3OH[/tex]

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

The given compound contains one carbon atom, four hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

It is an alcohol with functional group -OH and with molecular formula of [tex]CH_3OH[/tex] named as methanol.

The molecular formula of the molecule is [tex]CH_3OH[/tex]

The molecular formula of the molecule in figure 3 is [tex]CH_3OH[/tex].

The following information should be considered:

  • The molecular formula represents the chemical formula in which the actual no of atoms for each & every element should be presented in the compound.
  • In the given compound, it comprise of 4 hydrogen atoms, 1 oxygen atom, 1 carbon atom.
  • It is the alcohol having functional group i.e. -OH along with the molecular formula i.e. [tex]CH_3OH[/tex] that we called as the methanol.

Therefore we can conclude that the molecular formula of the molecule in figure 3 is [tex]CH_3OH[/tex].
