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.

Can someone please explain this to me? I need help ​
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The order would be: X-Rays, Visible Light, and Infrared Waves.

X-Rays have the shortest wavelength out of all three, then Visible Light, and Infrared Waves have the longest wavelength of the three.

Explanation:

So basically, the LONGER the wavelength, the lower the energy. and the SHORTER the wavelength, the higher the energy. For example, Radio waves are the WEAKEST out of all the types of waves because they have the LONGEST wavelengths. Gamma Rays are the STRONGEST out of all the types of waves because they have the SHORTEST wavelengths. So Radio Waves have the lowest energy, and Gamma Rays have the highest energy.

Here is a list of all the types of waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelengths:

Gamma Rays (Shortest Wavelengths, High Energy), then X-Rays would be the second strongest, then Ultraviolet waves, then Visible Light, then Infrared waves, then Microwaves, and lastly Radio Waves (Longest Wavelengths, Low Energy).

A 30.7 g sample of Strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass of 22.9 g. Calculate the hydration number.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

  • <em>Hydration number:</em> 4

Explanation:

<u>1) Mass of water in the hydrated compound</u>

Mass of water = Mass of the hydrated sample - mass of the dehydrated compound

Mass of water = 30.7 g - 22.9 g = 7.8 g

<u>2) Number of moles of water</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • molar mass of H₂O = 2×1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g*mol = 18.015 g/mol

  • Number of moles of H₂O = 7.9 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.439 mol

<u>3) Number of moles of Strontium nitrate dehydrated, Sr (NO₃)₂</u>

  • The mass of strontium nitrate dehydrated is the constant mass obtained after heating = 22.9 g

  • Molar mass of Sr (NO₃)₂ :  211.63 g/mol (you can obtain it from a internet or calculate using the atomic masses of each element from a periodic table).

  • Number of moles of Sr (NO₃)₂ = 22.9 g / 211.63 g/mol =  0.108 mol

<u>4) Ratio</u>

  • 0.439 mol H₂O / 0.108 mol Sr(NO₃)₂ ≈  4 mol H₂O : 1 mol Sr (NO₃)₂

Which means that the hydration number is 4.
