Answer: <span>Yes, a hydrocarbon is any compound that contains hydrogen and oxygen.

Justification:

First, I will try to rewrite the given structural formula since it is misrepresented.

This should be the right structural formula:

       H    H
       |      |
H - C  -  C - OH
       |      |
      H     H

And, yes the definition of hydrocarbon is that it is most simple organic compound constitured only by atoms of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H).

By the way, that hydrocarbon is also represented as CH3 - CH2 OH, it is an alcohol (since it has the functional group OH) and its name is ethanol.

The total pressure of gases a, b, and c in a closed container is 4.1 atm. if the mixture is 36% a, 42% b, and 22% c by volume, w
Natali [406]

 The  partial  pressure of  gas C  is 0.902  atm


  calculation

partial pressure of gas c  =[( percent by volume of  gas   C /  total  percent)   x total pressure]


percent  by  volume of gas C= 22%

Total   percent  = 36% +42%  + 22%  = 100 %

Total  pressure  =  4.1 atm


partial  pressure  of gas C  is therefore =  22/100 x 4.1 atm = 0.902  atm

Let’s say that you have a solvatochromic compound that appears red in a solvent. You dissolve the compound in another solvent an
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Hypsochromic compound, More polar solvent

Explanation:

Hypsochromic shift refers to the shift of solution colour to blue side of the visible spectrum (blueshift) with increasing polarity of the solvent. In our case, the solution changes to orange colour from red when solvent is changed. This means that the emission spectrum of the solution underwent blueshift. (As orange colour is on the 'blue' side for red colour.) So this is a hypsochromic shift, and the new solvent is more polar that the previous one, as it caused hypsochromic shift.

A compound with the empirical formula ch2 has a molar mass of 70 g/mol. what is the molecular formula for this compound?
Rainbow [258]

The empirical formula, <span>C<span>H2</span></span>, has a relative molecular mass of

<span>1×<span>(12.01)</span>+2×<span>(1.01)</span>=14.04</span>

This means that the empirical formula must be multiplied by a factor to bring up its molecular weight to 70. This factor can be calculated as the ratio of the relative masses of the molecular and empirical formulas

<span><span>7014.04</span>=4.98≈5</span>

Remember that subscripts in molecular formulas must be in whole numbers, hence the rounding-off. Finally, the molecular formula is

<span><span>C<span>1×5</span></span><span>H<span>2×5</span></span>=<span>C5</span><span>H<span>10</span></span></span>
