question.. can anyone do this?
« on: June 12, 2009, 01:00:31 PM »
does anyone actually understand what this question is asking me to do?

write out the full structural formula of the methyl ester of propanoic acid.

i got methyl propanoate and drew it out... is that even what the question is asking me?

I can't see anything wrong at a first glance, can you upload your drawing in case you've made an error in converting name to lines?

I can't see a problem then - what comments are you getting back from whoever is marking this for you?
