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.

What is the percentage of lithium in lithium carbonate (Li2CO3)?
ale4655 [162]
Molar mass Li2CO3 = 73.89 g/mol
Molar mass Li = 6.94g/mol Li = 6.94*2 = 13.88g


% LI = 13.88/73.89*100 = 18.78% perfectly correct.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

2= its color

Explanation:

Transition elements are present in the middle of periodic table. These are d-block elements.

These are 38 elements.

All transition elements have partially filled d orbitals.

They showed color in compound because of d-d transition.

During the d-d transition electron absorbed the energy and emit the reminder energy. The emission is usually in the form of color light.

The color of ion is complementary to the absorbed color.

The transition elements are used as a catalyst in industries such as polymer, petroleum industries.

They are ductile, conduct heat and electricity.

Write a balanced chemical equation, including states of matter, for the combustion of gaseous benzene, c6h6.
snow_tiger [21]
Almost all hydrocarbon 'burn' reactions involve oxygen; it's by far the most reactive substance in air. 

<span>Hydrocarbon combustions always involve </span>
<span>[some hydrocarbon] + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + steam. </span>

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

<span>Balance carbon, six on each side: </span>
C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

<span>Balance hydrogen, six on each side: </span>
C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O (g)

<span>Now, we have fifteen oxygens on the right and O2 on the left. </span>
<span>Two ways to deal with that. We can use a fraction: </span>
C6H6 (l)+ (15/2)O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ 3H2O (g)

<span>Or, if you prefer to have whole number coefficients, double everything </span>
<span>to get rid of the fraction: </span>
2C6H6 (l)+ 15O2 (g)--> 12CO2 (g)+ 6H2O (g)

<span>With the SATP states thrown in... </span>
C6H6(l) + (15/2)O2(g) --> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)
