Ethanol is a substituted hydrocarbon. The "ol" suffix used in ethanol is for the functional group -OH, or alochol group. When any functional group is attached to a pure hydrocarbon, that hydrocarbon shows properties of that functional group. 
For ethane as well, which have molecular formula of C2H6, when one hydrogen is substituted by one -OH group it becomes C2H5OH which we call as ethanol or ethyl alcohol. If two hydrogen are substituted, it becomes -diol and as such.
There are number of ways to prepare ethanol by pure hydrocarbon. Generally ethanol can be prepared by fermentation of starch and molasses. Also various organic reaction gives ethanol as product. When ethene is  reacted with steam catalysed by phosphoric acid.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Independent: sizes of nails

Dependent: number of paper clips

Controlled: Battery, wire and type of nails

Explanation:

An independent variable is a variable which when changes does not the effect the results of the experiment. It does not depends upon the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is defined as a variable which is affected when the independent variable is changed by the researcher or the experimenter. It depends greatly upon the independent variable.

While a controlled variable is that variable whose value is not changed in an experiment. It contains all the constants.

In the context,

the independent variable are : sizes of nails

the dependent variables are : number of paper clips

the Controlled variables are: Battery, wire and type of nails

5. Can you determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom by looking at the element's average atomic mass and the at
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons

An aqueous solution contains the following ions: cl−, ag , pb2 , no−3, and so2−4. More than one precipitate will form. Identify
klasskru [66]

An aqueous solution contains the following ions Cl⁻, Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, NO₃⁻ & SO₄²⁻ and more than one precipitate will form are AgCl, PbCl₂, PbSO₄ & Ag₂SO₄.

<h3>What is precipitate?</h3>

Precipitate is the insoluble compound which is present at the bottom of any chemical reaction in the solid state.

If in an aqueous solution Cl⁻, Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, NO₃⁻ & SO₄²⁻ ions are present then:

  • Compounds AgCl, PbCl₂, PbSO₄ & Ag₂SO₄ are not soluble in water as it is present in the form of precipitate.
  • Pb(NO₃)₂ is fully soluble in water and will not make precipitate.

Hence precipitates are AgCl, PbCl₂, PbSO₄ & Ag₂SO₄.
