The question requires us to draw the structural formula, provide the name and highlight any functional groups for the compound: diethyl ether.
The molecule diethyl ether can be represented as it follows, with two ethyl groups (-CH2CH3) bonded to a oxygen atom:
Note that the functional group ether (R-O-R) is present in the structre and highlighted in blue in the image. The official name of diethyl ether is ethoxyethane.
Density = (mass) / (volume)
Density = (17.0 g) / (25.3 cm³) = 0.672 gm per cm³. (rounded)
Answer:
Washing Clothes & Dissolving Sugar
Explanation:
Think about each application:
1) Washing clothes: You kind of need water to do this, or not much washing can be done.
2) Linking brake pedals to the brake pads: You don't need any liquids for this. You need solids.
3) Deodorizing a room: You would problem choose an aerosol, which is sprayed, thus a gas.
4) Carving a sculpture: You would use solid tool and a sold sculpture.
5) Dissolving sugar: You need a liquid to dissolve sugar!
6) Painting a wall: Perhaps, you COULD say that the paint is a liquid... but I'm not sure if that really counts. I believe this application would still be solids.
7) A gear for a machine is a solid!
The law of conservation of mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. in any chemical reaction, the total mass of the products always equals the total mass of the reactants.
