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.
Answer:
- <u><em>butylphenyl ether.</em></u>
Explanation:
The formula of the compound is:
- CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - O - C₆H₅
1. The functional group is of the kind R - O - R', i.e. two alkyl groups each attached to one end of the oxygen atom. That means that the compound is an ether.
2. One group attached to the oxygen group is CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - which has 4 carbons and is named butyl group.
3. The other group attached to the oxygen atom is C₆H₅ - which is derived from ciclohexane as is known as phenyl group.
4. Using the rule of naming the subtituents in alphabetical order, you name butyl first and phenyl second, so it is <u><em>butylphenyl ether.</em></u>
Answer:
your answer will be between 16-17 moles
Explanation:
The combustion of butane is 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 = 8 CO2 + 10 H2O. Every two moles of C4H10 can produce 10 moles of water,
