The question requires us to draw the structural formula, provide the name and highlight any functional groups for the compound: diethyl ether.
The molecule diethyl ether can be represented as it follows, with two ethyl groups (-CH2CH3) bonded to a oxygen atom:
Note that the functional group ether (R-O-R) is present in the structre and highlighted in blue in the image. The official name of diethyl ether is ethoxyethane.
Answer:
a. The phenolphthalein acts as a color changing indicator to signal the endpoint of the reaction.
Explanation:
Phenolphthalein is an organic substance with chemical formula .
It is a substance commonly used in acid-base titrations to indicate the end point in the titration because phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions but turns a purplish-pink color in basic solutions.
In this way it helps visually to notice when the final point of the titration has been reached.
Answer:
Explanation:
The number of valence electrons tells us the group number of the neutral atom.
The atom has 4 valence electrons.
The atom is in group 4.
