With a name like poly hydroxyl alcohol, it suggests that the alcohol has more than one alcohol group. Thus any alcohol with more than one hydroxyl is a polyhydroxyl alcohol. An example that pops into mind is ethanediol (CH2OHCH2OH) this has 2 hydroxyl groups and is an alcohol, thus a polyhydroxyl alcohol

At standard temperature and pressure, 1 mole of gas has what volume? A. 2.4 liters B. 22.4 liters C. 42.4 liters D. 76.6 liters
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: B.22.4 liters

Explanation:

When we attribute to a certain fixed mass of a given gas a fixed number of molecules. Avogadro considered that the mass of 36g of oxygen at any temperature and pressure would have a fixed number of molecules to which he called 1 mol of molecules. So by definition 1 mole of molecules would have a number of molecules equal to that present in 36 g of oxygen. The occupied volume by one mole of molecules at a given temperature and pressure is called molar volume and consists in 22,4 Liters. The molar volume matches the Avogadro Hypothesis (created in 1811 by Amedeo Avogadro), where equal volumes of different gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have even number of moles.
