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).

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The water will continue to heat up as the experiment progresses.

Explanation:

When a person's fingers are cold or has a muscles ache, one can use chemical hand warmers to heat them up. There are two types of chemical hand warmer products, and they all depend on exothermic chemical reactions to work.

However, ammonium chloride dissolution is endothermic but its crystalization is exothermic. When used as a hand warner with a calorimeter, it is found that the temperature of the water increases steadily due to the crystalization of the ammonium chloride. Hence the answer.

What would you need to do to calculate the molarity of 10g of NaCl in 2kg of water?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

B) we will convert the 10 g of NaCl into moles.

Explanation:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

we will convert the 10 g of NaCl into moles.

Number of moles of NaCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 10 g/ 58.44 gmol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

1 Kg = 1 L

Molarity = 0.17 mol / 2 L

Molarity = 0.085 mol/L

Molarity = 0.085 M
