Solution

1-Propanol (also known as n-propanol or propyl alcohol) has the molecular formula C3H8O. Its structure is CH3-CH2-CH2OH.

In this molecule, there are three different types of hydrogen environments:

  1. The hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atom in the -CH2 group that is directly attached to the -OH group.

  2. The hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom in the -OH group (the hydroxyl hydrogen).

  3. The hydrogen atoms in the -CH3 group and the -CH2- group that are not directly attached to the -OH group.

So, there are 3 different 1H (proton) chemical environments in 1-propanol.
