Answer:

Alcohol :CH₃-CH₂-OH (ethanol)

Ether: H₃C-O-CH₃ (dimethyl ether)

Explanation:

Alcohols are compounds containing the hydroxyl or the -OH functional group i.e. R-OH where R is an alkyl or aryl group

Ethers are compounds with a general structure, R-O-R' where R and R' are once again either alkyl or aryl groups.

The given compound has a molecular formula: C₂H₆O

Structure with 'alcohol' -OH functional group

CH₃-CH₂-OH ------- ethanol

Structure with ether functionality:

H₃C-O-CH₃ ---------dimethyl ether

Answer is: there are two compounds with molecular formula C₂H₆O, one alcohol and one ethar.

Alcohol with molecular formula C₂H₆O is ethanol or ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH).

Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with characteristic odor.

Ether with molecular formula C₂H₆O is dimethyl ether (CH₃OCH₃).

Dimethyl ether is a colorless gas.

Which unit can be used to express the concentration of a solution?

exis [7]

Answer: (3) ppm

Explanation: Concentration is defined as the amount of solute dissolved in a known amount of the solvent or a solution.

Parts per million (ppm) is used to express the concentration when a very small quantity of solute is present in a large quantity of the solution. It is defined as the mass of solute present in one milion $(10^6)$ parts by mass of the solution.

$ppm=\frac{\text {mass of Solute}}{\text {Mass of solution}}\times 10^6$

L/s is used to express flow rate.

J/g is used to express energy per unit mass.

kPa is used to express pressure.

he number-average molecular weight of a polypropylene is 1,000,000 g/mol. Compute the degree of polymerization.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The answer is "23765.4"

Explanation:

Motor weight average number $(\bar{M_n}) = 1000000 \frac{g}{mol}$

Poly condensation degree dependent on the average number of molecular weights is as follows:

$DP_n = \frac{\text{Mol.Wt Number Medium}}{\text{Monomer Unit Mol.Wt}}$

All monomer module, in this case, is propylene

Sunrise. Unit Wt = Mol. Propylene weight

$= \ Mol. \ Wt \ of \ C_3H_6\\\\= 3 \times 12.01 +6 \times 1.008 \ \ \frac{g}{mol}\\\\= 42.078 \frac{g}{mol}\\\\$

$DP_n = \frac{1000000}{42.078}\\\\$

$=23765.4$
