The answer is A) Both formulas identify the specific in a particular compound. However, a <span>structural formula also shows how the atoms in a compound are bonded together.

Molecular formula: 
Advantage: shows chemical composition
Disadvantage: No structural information

Structural formula:
Advantage: shows chemical connectivity
Disadvantage: Minimal three dimensional

Answer: the correct  answer is (A).

Explanation:

Structural formula not only tells us about the number and types of atoms in a molecule but also tells us about the bonded positions of all the atoms in a molecule of that particular compound.

Molecular structure only tells us about the numbers of atoms and types of atoms present in a molecule of that particular compound.

For example: Molecular formula of propanone and propanal are same that is C_3H_6O but structural formula is different that CH_3COCH_3 for propane and CH_3CH_2CHO for propanal. Here structural formula is showing that how the atoms in propanone and propanal are bonded together.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

If the gas in the piston above has a volume of 20.0 L at a temperature of 25 C what is the volume of that gas when it is heated
dexar [7]

Answer:

15.98 L

Explanation:

First, you need to find T1, T2, V1 and V2.

T1 = 25 C = 298.15 K (25C + 273.15K)

T2 = 100 C = 373.15 K (100C + 273.15K)

V1 = 20. L

V2 = ? (we are trying to find)

Next, rearrange to fit the formula

V2 = V1 x T1 / T2

Next, fill in with our numbers

V2 = 20. L x 298.15 K / 373.15 K

Do the math and you should get...

15.98 L

- If you need more help or futher explanation please let me know. I would be glad to help!

Which statement is true of a chemical change?
Andru [333]
The appropriate answer is a. it involves a change in the molecular structure of the substance. A change in phase or state is referred to as a physical change. For example...liquid water freezing is a physical change because the state changes but solid water is still H20. Separating water into its constituent atoms, hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical change because the molecular structure of water is now non existent.

Answer is:<span>increase [Cl</span>₂<span>] and remove HCl from the product.
</span>Chemical reaction: Cl₂ + CH₂Cl₂ → CHCl₃(chloroform) + HCl.
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change, the position of equilibrium will move so that the concentration of reactants decrease (Cl₂) and concentration of products of chemical reaction increase (CHCl₃) if increase concentration of reactants and decrease concentration of products.
