Are alcohols with more than one hydroxyl group attached to a carbon sequence.

Chemistry

Darya [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Polyhydroxyl alcohols

Explanation:

Whenever we have several C-OH bonds, we have a polyhydroxyl alcohol. For example, if we have just one alcohol group, that is, an R-OH group, then the naming is simple, say, we have EtOH, it's ethanol.

The problem becomes more complicated when we have several hydroxyl groups present in the alcohol. Let's say we have an ethane molecule and we replace the hydrogen atoms of carbon 1 and 2 with hydroxyl groups. In that case, we have 1,2-ethanediol. Similarly, we can have triols etc.

That said, we have poly (several) hydroxyl groups and we can generalize this to having polyhydroxyl alcohols.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

E° = 1.24 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following galvanic cell: Fe(s) | Fe²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq) | Ag(s)

According to this notation, Fe is in the anode (where oxidation occurs) and Ag is in the cathode (where reduction occurs). The corresponding half-reactions are:

Anode: Fe(s) ⇒ Fe²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cathode: Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ ⇒ Ag(s)

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an

E° = 0.80 V - (-0.44 V) = 1.24 V

How can forgery be used in crime
Tems11 [23]

Some bad people will tend to forge dollar bills and make fake bills, giving them to cashiers and asking for it to be split into a different amount of bills so they are given real cash and wont be caught or they will buy things, return them and be given back real money and get away with it. This is obviously a crime because it's fake.
