How many carbons in isopropanol? Well, I count 3 in the given formula.

Explanation:

The molecular formula of isopropanol is $C_{3} H_{7} O H$ $C_3H_7OH$ . Of butanol, it is $C_{4} H_{9} O H$ $C_4H_9OH$ ; of pentanol, $C_{5} H_{11} O H$ $C_5H_11OH$ . I am simply adding a methylene group, $C H_{2}$ $CH_2$ , to extend the carbon chain.

What about methyl alcohol, and ethyl alcohol?
