C9H10O3
C9H10O3 is a molecular formula representing a variety of organic chemical compounds. The formula indicates that each molecule is composed of 9 carbon atoms, 10 hydrogen atoms, and 3 oxygen atoms. Due to the flexibility of carbon bonding and the various ways these atoms can arrange themselves, many different molecules (isomers) share this same molecular formula.
The specific properties and uses of a compound with the formula C9H10O3 depend entirely on its specific structural arrangement and functional groups. Without further information about the structural formula, it is impossible to determine its identity or its applications. Possibilities include, but are not limited to, various aromatic compounds, esters, carboxylic acids, and alcohols. Identifying the specific compound requires spectroscopic data such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS).
Because numerous isomers are possible, C9H10O3 alone provides very little information about a substance. Further analytical data is necessary for accurate identification and to understand its chemical behavior.
