You have 55 grams of glucose(C6H12O6). How many grams of oxygen do you have?
1 answer:
Answer:
Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g
Explanation:
Mass of glucose given is 55grams.
We are to find the mass of oxygen in this compound.
In the compound we have 6 atoms of oxygen.
Solution
To find the mass of oxygen in glucose, we calculate the formula mass of glucose. We now divide the formula mass of the oxygen atom with that of the glucose and multiply by the given mass to find the unkown mass.
Atomic mass of C = 12g
H = 1g
O = 16g
Formula mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = {(12x6) + (1x12) + (16x6)} = 180
Mass of O in glucose = x 55
= x 55
= 0.53 x 55
Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g

Answer:
1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane
Note: there is a mistake in formula, the correct formula is (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O-C(CH₃)₃ not (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O(CH₃)₃, because oxygen is a divalent compound.
Explanation:
<em>Structural formula is attached</em>
IUPAC naming rules
1. start numbering the chain from the functional group. In this compound we start from oxygen side.
2. Here we can see that at position 1 there is an oxy group along with a tertiary carbon having three methyl groups. So we write it as 1-tert-butoxy. Which means that there is a methoxy group at position 1 along with a tertiary carbon.
3. At position 2 we can see that there is a methyl group attached to the main chain, so we write it as 2-methyl.
4. Now we count the total number of carbons in the main chain. As we can see that there are 3 carbons in the remaining or parent chain, so we write it as propane
5. So the IUPAC name of the compound will be 1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane
