e) `CH_(3)CH_(2)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)C=O` (two moles)
f) HCHO and `O=CH-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)(CH_(3))_(2)`
g) `CH_(3)CH_(2)underset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(|)C=O` and `OHC-CHO` and `OHC(CH_(2))CH_(3)`
h) `OHC-CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO` only
i) `OHC-CH_(2)-CHO` (two moles)
j)

Answer 1

a) `CH_(3)-CH=CH_(2)` (Propene)
b) `(CH_(3))_(2)=CH_(2)` (methylprop-1-ene)
c) `(CH_(3))_(2)C=CHCH_(3)`, (2-Methylbut-2-ene)
d) `(CH_(3))_(2)C=C(CH_(3))_(2)`(2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene)
