Respuesta :

Statements 1 is correct.

Explanation:

Pentanal - is an aldehyde have the molecular formula C₅H₁₀O, is soluble in organic solvent and it is derived from Pentane.

3-pentanone is a ketone have the molecular formula C₅H₁₀O.

1,3,5-pentanetriol is an alcohol have the molecular formula C₅H₁₂O₃.

All the 3 molecules have 5 carbon atoms and they don't have equal number of hydrogen atoms.

Pentanal and pentanone, both have carbonyl groups.

3-pentanone is slightly soluble in water, whereas 1,3,5-pentanetriol is mostly soluble in water, since it contains 3-OH groups forms hydrogen bond with water.

All three molecules are derived from Pentane and not from Pentyne.

So statement 1 is correct.
