Short Answer

Expert verified
The classes to which these compounds belong are: (a) Alcohol, (b) Ether, (c) Aldehyde, (d) Carboxylic Acid, and (e) Amine.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Functional Group of C4H9OH

In this compound, an 'OH' group is attached which signifies it's an Alcohol.
02

Identify the Functional Group of CH3OC2H5

This compound features an 'O' (oxygen) atom between two carbon chains (CH3 and C2H5). This specifies that this is an Ether.
03

Identify the Functional Group of C2H5CHO

The 'CHO' group here means it's an Aldehyde.
04

Identify the Functional Group of C6H5COOH

The 'COOH' group is characteristic for Carboxylic Acids.
05

Identify the Functional Group of CH3NH2

In this compound, an 'NH2' group is attached which signifies it's an Amine.
