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 would the products of a double-replacement reaction between ca3n2 and al2o3 be?
djyliett [7]
The equation for the reaction between Ca3N2 and Al2O3 wiil be; 
  Al2O3 + Ca3N2 = 2AIN +3CaO
Thus, the products of the reaction will be Aluminium Nitride and Burnt lime(Calcium oxide). A double displacement reaction, also known as a double replacement reaction or metathesis, is a reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions and the anions switch places, forming two new compounds or products.

An organic synthesis to make the pain reliever acetaminophen is supposed to produce 280 kg of product but instead produces 70 kg
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: 75%

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Waste = 70kg

Theoretical yield = 280kg

Therefore, the actual yield will be the difference between the theoretical yield and the waste which will be:

= 280kg - 70kg = 210kg

The percent yield will now be:

= Actual yield / Theoretical yield × 100

= 210/280 × 100

= 3/4 × 100

= 75%

if an atom of polonium-218 were to undergo alpha emission, followed by two beta emissions, which nuclide would result? lead-214
tia_tia [17]
Po, (218, 84) - Alpha Particle (4, 2) =   (218 - 4, 84 - 2) = <span>(214 , 82)</span>

(214 , 82) - 2Beta =   (214, 82 - 2*(-1)) = (214 , 84)

Polonium has atomic number of 84.

So answer = Polonium-214
