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).

Answer:

1. 9.4 grams of methane produce 25.85 grams of CO2

2.Grams of water produced = 11.81 grams

3.Mass of Methane produced by 10.1 gram of O2 = 2.52 grams

4.Amount of methane consumed = 46.9 grams

5. Grams of Co2 produced = 8.32 grams

Explanation:

Molar masses :

Methane = CH4 = mass of C + 4x (mass of H)

CH4 = 12 +4(1) = 16 grams

1 mole of CH4 = 16 gram

Oxygen O2 = 2 x (mass of O) = 2x(16) = 32 gram (1 mole of O2 =32 gram)

Carbon Dioxide =CO2 = mass of C + 2(mass of O)

= 12 + 2(16)

= 44 grams (1 mole of CO2 = 44 gram )

Water = H2O = 18 grams ( 1 mole of H2O = 18 gram)

1 mole of each molecule is equal to their molar masses

The balanced equation is :

$1CH_{4}(g)+2O_{2}\rightarrow 1CO_{2}+2H_{2}O(l)$

According to Stoichiometry :

1 mole of CH4 = 2 Mole of O2 = 1 mole of CO2 = 2 mole of H2O

1. From the equation ,

1 mole of methane produce =1 mole of CO2

16 gram of methane = 44 gram of CO2

1 gram of methane =

$\frac{44}{16}$ gram of CO2

9.4 gram of CH4 =

$\frac{44}{16}\times 9.4$ gram of CO2

= 25 .85 gram of CO2

2 mole of O2 produces = 2 mole of H2O(water)

1 mole of O2 produces = 1 mole of H2O

32 gram of O2 = 18 gram of water

1 gram of O2 =

$\frac{18}{32}$

21 gram of O2 =

$\frac{18}{32}\times 21$

11.81 gram of water

3. 1 mole of CH4 = 2 mole of O2

16 gram of CH4 = 2(32) = 64 grams of O2

64 gram of O2 needs = 16 grams of CH4

1 gram of O2 needs =

$\frac{16}{64}$

10.1 gram of O =

$\frac{16}{64}\times 10.1$ of CH4

= 2.52 gram

1 mole of CO2 is produced from = 1 mole of CH4

44 gram of CO2 is produced from 16 gram of CH4

1 gram CO2 =

$\frac{16}{44}$ gram of CH4

129 gram of CO2 =

$\frac{16}{44}\times 129$ gram of CH4

= 46.90 grams

2 mole of O2 produce = 1 mole of CO2

2x 32 gram of O2 = 44 gram of CO2

1 gram of O2 =

$\frac{44}{64}$ of CO2

12.1 gram of O2 produce=

$\frac{44}{64}\times 12.1$ of CO2

= 8.318 gram

Note : Write the quantity give on left side of "="

write the substance asked on right side of "="

Can one mole of peas fit inside your house? List the materials and steps of an experiment that answers the

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

No, one mole of peas do not fit inside a house because one mole is equals to 6.022 × 10²³ units which is a very large value. mole only use for atoms, ions and molecules etc due to very small size but mole is not used for big sized materials such as peas and other vegetables etc. So that's why we can conclude that one mole of peas did not fit inside a house.

6. Calculate the molarity if 35.0 grams of KBr are dissolved in 700. ml?

olga55 [171]

Answer:

To calculate molarity, divide the number of moles of solute by the volume of the solution in liters. If you don't know the number of moles of solute but you know the mass, start by finding the molar mass of the solute, which is equal to all of the molar masses of each element in the solution added together.

Explanation:

try starting with 35.0 and dived it by the volume
