The answer is simply the second lightest compound (in terms of molecular weight).

Hex = 6 carbons
Pent = 5 carbons
Hept = 7 carbons
Oct = 8 carbons

The second lightest is 1-hexanol, the answer is A :)

It said the smallest are detected first, hence hexanol is the correct answer.
Yeah I said that, but my friend said some confusing shit about how it takes them that long to detect it (the graph) & that time is going in the opposite direction!!!

EDIT:
Plus she had all these figure on the graph!!!

But everyone took her word for it, since she is dux :rolleyes: & coming first in chem!!

Heh yes her getting pwned sounds very entertaining. Get a photo and post it up!
I got A as well. I don't see how it could be anything else.
