DUPLICATE How did organic compounds get their name and how is the word related to its meaning?

1 answer:

7 0

Organic compounds got their name because they are related to living organisms. The four major groups of organic compounds are molecules that are produced by organism using energy and the raw material of non-living matter - this is how the word is related to its meaning.

How many isomers does propane have? 01 02 03 05

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A.) 1

Explanation:

Propane only exists in one conformation. It does not have enough carbons to form branches, and there are only hydrogens attached to each carbon. Furthermore, there is no way to twist the carbon or change its orientation (ex. cis- and trans-) to result in a different structure of propane. There is no other way to represent the molecule without drawing a different molecule.

How do you convert kilograms to pounds?

Maru [420]

Answer: (1 Kilogram = 2.20462 pounds) . There are 2.2046226218 lb in 1 kilogram. To convert kilograms to pounds, multiply your figure by 2.205 for an approximate result. 1 kilogram is also equal to 2 lb and 3.27396195 oz. Working out a rough estimate in your head for converting to pounds and ounces may be tricky - remember that there are 16 ounces in a pound.

When molten sulfur reacts with chlorine gas, a vile-smelling orange liquid forms that has an empirical formula of SCl. The struc

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The structure is shown below.

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) is the charge that is more close to the actual charge in the real molecules and ions. It can be calculated based on the number of valence electrons (V), the shared electrons (S) and the electrons in the lone pairs (L) by the equation:

FC = V - (L + S/2)

Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons, and chlorine is from group 17 of the periodic table, and so it has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can share only one electron, so it is stable. Sulfur can expand its octet (because it's from the third period) and can have more than 8 electrons when stable.

The possible formulas, from the empiric one, are:

SCl, S₂Cl₂, and S₃Cl₃.

To have FC = 0, chlorine must done only one bond, because S = 2, and L = 6, so:

FC = 7 - (6 + 2/2) = 0

So, it can not be the central atom of a structure. In the SCl, it will hav only a simple bond, so for sulfur, S = 2, and L = 4 (only the lone pairs are counted)

FC = 6 - (4+ 2/2) = +1

For S₂Cl₂, the two sulfurs must be bonded to a simple bond, and each one to one chlorine, thus, for both od them S = 4, and L = 4. so

FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0

So, it is the correct structure. The lewis structure represents the bonds by lines and the lone pairs of electrons by dots, and it is shown below.

A sample of methane occupies a volume of 174.0 mL at 25 C and exerts a pressure of 1030.0 mmHg if the volume of the gas is allow

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The pressure will be 0,37 atm.

Explanation:

We use the Boyle Mariotte´s formula,where for a given mass of gas, at constant temperature, the pressure and temperature vary inversely proportionally. We see here that the initial and final temperature does not vary (298K).

We convert the unit Celsius into Kelvin (0 ° C = 273K) and the unite mmHg into atm (760mmHg=1 atm):

25°C= 25+273=298K ; (1060mmHgx 1 atm)/760mmHg)=1,39 atm.

We convert unit of volume from ml to L: 174/1000=0,174L and 650/1000=0,650L

P1xV1= P2xV2

1,39 atm x 0,174L =P2 x0,650L

P2= (1,39 atm x 0,174L)/0,650L= 0,37 atm

The normal freezing point of water is 0.00 ⁰C. What is the freezing point of a solution containing450.0 mg of ethylene glycol (M

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution = - 8.98°C

Explanation:

We apply Freezing point depression to solve this problem, the colligative property that has this formula:

Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution = Kf . m

Kf = 1.86°C/m, this is a constant which is unique for each solvent. In this case, we are using water

m = molality (moles of solute / 1kg of solvent)

We convert the mass of solvent from g to kg

1.5 g . 1kg/1000g = 0.0015 kg

We convert the mass of solute, to moles. Firstly we make this conversion, from mg to g → 450mg . 1g/1000mg = 0.450 g

0.450 g. 1mol / 62.07g = 7.25×10⁻³ moles

Molality → 7.25×10⁻³ mol / 0.0015 kg = 4.83 m

- Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C /m . 4.83 m - Freezing T° of pure solvent

-Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C /m . 4.83 m - 0°C

Freezing T° of solution = - 8.98°C
