Answer : Methanal also known as Formaldehyde $CH_{2}O$ is a chemical Aldehyde which contain ( -CHO) group.

Explanation :

In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group which contain a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom i.e, ( C=O).

If carbonyl group is present in a compound then it can be a carboxylic (RCOOH), aldehyde (RCHO), ketone (RCOR'), ester ((RCOOR') or amide (RCONR'R") group.

Here are some functional groups naming according to the IUPAC rules and image also attached,

Carboxylic acid → (RCOOH) → ( name end in 'OIC ACID' )

Aldehyde → (RCOH) → ( name end in 'AL' )

Ketone → (RCOR') → ( name end in 'ONE' )

Ester → (RCOOR') → ( name end in 'ATE' )

Amide → (RCONR'R") → ( name end in 'AMIDE' )

In an aldehyde, atleast one hydrogen atom must be attached to the carbonyl carbon. For an aldehyde, remove ( -e) from alkane name and add ( -al) at the end of the compound.

Methanal is the IUPAC name for Formaldehyde.

What causes hydrogen bonds to rupture in ice

finlep [7]

As water is boiled, kinetic energy causes the hydrogen bonds to break completely and allows water molecules to escape into the air as gas (steam or water vapor). When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water.

In separating mixtures is it an advantage or a disadvantage?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Purpose: To become familiar with the techniques for separation of amixture of solids.

Explanation:

a mixture of pure substances. If you have a mixture of tennis ballsand marbles (not pure substances by the way), it would be easy toseparate the mixture. However, it is more difficult to separate asand (also not a pure substance) and salt mixture. Even with verygood tweezers and a magnifying glass, it would be extremelytedious. You could take advantage of the fact that salt dissolvesin water and sand does not. To separate iron powder from an ironand sand mixture you can take advantage of the magnetic propertiesof iron and separate the mixture.

To summarize a complete procedure for separating a mixture ofseveral substances, it is best to prepare a flow chart. A flowchartis a schematic representation of an algorithm or a stepwiseprocess, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and theirorder by connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used indesigning or documenting a process.

1. An oxide of chromium is found to have the following % composition: 68.4% Cr

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of Cr = 68.4%

Percentage of O = 31.6%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Cr = 68.4 / 52 = 1.3 2

Number of gram atoms of O = 31.6 / 16 = 1.98

Atomic ratio:

Cr : O

1.32/1.32 : 1.98/1.32

1 : 1.5

Cr : O = 1 : 1.5

Cr : O = 2(1 : 1.5)

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.
