Acetone is a three-carbon aldehyde. True/False.

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: acetone is a ketone and not an aldehyde. Therefore it's false

Explanation:

Acetone is of structure CH3-CO-CH3

which makes it a ketone.

Both aldehyde and ketone have a carbonyl group but there is difference between aldehyde and ketone.

Aldehydes have a general formula R-CHO

where R is a methyl group including H atom, and CHO is the functional group.

While

Ketone have the general formula R-CO-Ri

where R and Ri are methyl groups excluding H atom, and CO is the functional group.

Hint: ketones usually end with the suffix "one" as in acetone.

How do I calculate the molecular weight of Mg(OH)2?
vodomira [7]

The molecular weight of Mg(OH)2 : 58 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Mg(OH)2 compound

Required

The molecular weight

Solution

Relative atomic mass (Ar) of element : the average atomic mass of its isotopes  

Relative molecular weight (M)  : The sum of the relative atomic mass of Ar  

M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)  

So for Mg(OH)2 :

= Ar Mg + 2 x Ar O + 2 x Ar H

= 24 g/mol + 2 x 16 g/mol + 2 x 1 g/mol

= 24 + 32 + 2

= 58 g/mol

Colligative property definition chemistry
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that are dependent on the concentration of the solutes in the solution.

Colligative properties has to do with solutions, that is, solutes that are dissolved in solvents. Examples of colligative properties are: freezing point depression, vapour pressure lowering, boiling point elevation and osmotic pressure. Colligative properties do not depend on the identity of the solutes, this implies that the effect of colligative properties are uniform across all solutions. For example, the freezing point depression of any solution will depend on the concentration of solutes that are dissolve in solution.
