Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6

9. What is the name of the molecule?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

3–methyl–2–butanol

Explanation:

To name the compound, we must:

1. Identify the functional group.

2. Give the functional group of the compound the lowest possible count.

3. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

4. Identify the substituent group attached.

5. Give the substituent group the lowest possible count.

6. Combine the above to get the name of the compound.

Now, let us obtain the name of the compound.

1. The functional group of the compound is Alcohol i.e —OH.

2. The functional group is located at carbon 2.

3. The longest continuous carbon chain is carbon 4 i.e butane. But the presence of the functional group i.e OH will replace the –e in butane with –ol. Therefore, the compound is butanol.

4. The substituent group attached is methyl i.e CH3.

5. The substituent group is located at carbon 3.

6. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

3–methyl–2–butanol.

Nh4i(aq)+koh(aq)→ express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.
tester [92]
NH4I (aq)  +  KOH  (aq)  in   chemical   equation  gives

   NH4I (aq)  +  KOH (aq)   =  KI  (aq)  +  H2O(l)  +  NH3  (l)

Ki  is  in  aqueous  state  H2o   is  in   liquid  state  while  NH3  is  in  liquid  state

from  the  equation  above  1 mole of  NH4I (aq) react  with  1 mole of KOH(aq) to  form  1mole of KI(aq) ,  1mole of H2O(l)  and 1  Mole  of NH3(l)
