As you know ethanol is a an alcohol and alcohol is a hydrocarbon. Alcohol is made up of a carbon chain which Is always non polar and a OH group which is polar. According to the solubility rule like substances dissolves like substance. Using ethanol chemical formula. Ethanol has a 2 carbon chain and a OH group. water is polar so it will be attracted to the OH group. Carbon chain on the other hand is nonpolar so it will be repelled from the water.


Therefore the Solubility of alcohols is determined by the stronger of the two forces. The strength of the attraction of the OH group, and the amount of water they dissolve in.

Please help! Help me solve problems about naming structures with IUPAC rules
lianna [129]
A. The longest carbon chain is eight, and it has two methyl groups attached to carbon three, and a special group attached to carbon five. Its two names could be:

3-dimethyl-5-(1-methylethyl)octane
3-dimethyl-5-isopropyloctane

Both of these are correct. This is an alkane, because it has all single bonds.

B. This has a triple bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl group off carbon 4. The longest chain is 5. It’s name is:

4-methyl-2-pentyne

This is an alkene, because of the double bond.

C. This has a double bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl off of four and an methyl off of six. The longest chain is eight (follow the longest chain of carbons).

4,6-dimethyl-2-octene

This is an alkene, because of the double bond.

D. This has an ethyl group at 1 and a methyl group at 2 (rotate the compound to make it as clean as possible, in this case, the ring is flipped and rotated to make it alphabetical with the smallest numbers possible). The two names are:

1-ethyl-2-methylbenzene
ortho-ethylmethylbenzene

Both are correct, the ortho prefix telling the location of the ethyl and methyl groups. This is an aromatic structure because of its double bonded ring.

E. The longest chain is nine, and has methyls at three, five, and seven, along with a propyl at five. The name is:

3,5,7-trimethyl-5-propylnonane

This is an alkane, due to the single bonds.

Hope this helps!

How many grams of ca are needed to react completely with 2.20 L of a 4.50 m hcl solution
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Ca + 2HCl = CaCl₂ + H₂

c=4.50 mol/l
v=2.20 l

n(HCl)=cv

m(Ca)/M(Ca)=n(HCl)/2

m(Ca)=M(Ca)cv/2

m(Ca)=40g/mol·4.50mol/l·2.20l/2=198 g

198 grams of Ca are needed
