The chemical formula does not show how the atoms are connected to one another.
When we write the chemical formula of any substance, we are not able to understand the spatial arrangement of that substance's atoms. This is extremely important in organic compounds, which exhibit different physical characteristics as well as different chemical characteristics due to the way their atoms are arranged in space. These isomers are known as enantiomers.

What is the concentration (M) of CH3OH in a solution prepared by dissolving 34.4 g of CH3OH in sufficient water to give exactly
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

4.67M

Explanation:

The concentration of methanol (CH3OH) can be calculated using the following:

Molarity (M) = number of moles(n)/volume(v)

However, mole is not given. It can be obtained by using:

Mole = mass / molar mass

Where; mass = 34.4g

Molar mass (MM) of CH3OH is:

= 12 + 1(3) + 16 + 1

= 12 + 3 + 17

= 32g/mol

mole = 34.4/32

mole = 1.075mol

The volume needs to be converted to L by dividing by 1000

230mL = 230/1000

= 0.230L

Molarity = mol/volume

Molarity = 1.075/0.230

Molarity = 4.6739

Molarity = 4.67M

The concentration of CH3OH in solution is 4.67M
