Each of the organic compounds mentioned has a general formula so that we can identify the classification of a certain substance. The compound CH₃CH₂OH is an alcohol because it follows the general formula R-OH, where R is a hydrocarbon chain. In this case, the hydrocarbon chain is ethane. When a hydroxyl functional group is attached, it becomes an alcohol whose name is ethanol.
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing _______ in order to measure temperature. As the temperature goes up, the alcohol contained in the thermometer increases in volume, filling more of the thermometer's tube.
A.
mass
B.
state
C.
chemical composition
D.
density
Answer:
D.
density
Explanation:
Every kind of thermometer makes use of a change in a particular physical property of a substance as a measure of temperature. It must be a property that changes with temperature.
Density of a substance changes with temperature. Even though the mass of alcohol in glass remains constant, but its volume increases or decreases with change in temperature leading to a change in volume and consequently a change in density of the alcohol in glass. This change is used as a measure of the change in temperature.
Methyl orange shows red color in acidic medium and yellow color in basic medium. Because it changes color at the pKa of a mid strength acid, it is usually used in titration for acids. Unlike a universal indicator, methyl orange does not have a full spectrum of color change, but it has a sharp end point.
It is highly hazardous, it is radioactive
