Answer: A molecular compound.

Acetaminophen is an interesting compound in that has at least 3 specific types of functional groups.

LOOK UP THE STRUCTURE FOR Acetaminophen. It will make it clearer.

Or,

Draw a Benzene ring. This is the archetypal “aromatic ring”. 6 carbons in a ring with 3 alternating unsaturations or “double bonds”. It is planar, and follows the 2n + 2 rule for aromaticity. (Where n = 2, so (2 x 2) + 2 = 6. (The three unsaturations; you may not have seen all this yet, but you will, so bear with me).

The 2nd functional group, a -OH or a Hydroxyl group, behaves VERY differently on an aromatic ring than on an alkane. The resonance stabilization (of the aromatic ring), allows the Hydrogen to disassociate from the -OH to yield Aromatic ring—O - + H+ when it is in a polar solution, like water. Phenol is the simplest example.

3rd functional group is a methyl Amide. This amide is —NH—COCH3 (trans). Amides are a N bonded to a H and a carbon bearing a double bonded Oxygen, and the same carbon, in this example, a methyl group. There is a resonance between the N and O, but the structure you see is the lowest energy and most stable. Place the —OH Exactly opposite on the ring to the methyl amide, in the 1,4, or para position.

This may be overdoing it, but it never hurts to learn functional groups as soon as possible.

Answer:

Organic compound

Explanation:

Acetominophen's molecular formula is C8H9NO2. Right from the formula you can also see that the compound has C (carbon) in it, therefore making it an organic compound (in which the definition is that the compound contains carbon in it).

Balance <br><br> _Mg + _HCL = _MgCl2 + H2
Pavel [41]
_Mg + _HCL = _MgCl2 + H2
Separate the terms on each side: 

_Mg + _HCl = _MgCl2 + H2

Mg- 1                 Mg-1
               
H-1                    H-2

Cl-1                    Cl-2

Mg is balanced on both sides so move on to the next (put a 1 in the space). 

1Mg

There are two H's and two Cl's on the results side, so to balance the equation put a 2 as a coefficient for HCl and it'll all balance out.

2HCl

Balamced equation will be: 

 1Mg + 2HCL = 1MgCl2 + H2

Which of the following statements is a qualitative observation? A.The branch is three meters long. B.The substance tastes bitter
notka56 [123]

There are two kinds of analysis: qualitative and quantitative

In quantitative we analyse the amount of something that is how much of something is present / the quantity. Ex: the length of branch of tree, number of students in class, volume of a liquid in a beaker.

In qualitative analysis we determine the kind of substance / quality of substance / nature of substance.

like: colour of a substance, odor of a substance or taste (bitter / sour / sweet etc) of a substance

So answer is : B.The substance tastes bitter
