A functional group is a group of atoms that determines many of the properties of an organic molecule.
For example functional group for alcohol is hydroxyl group (-OH) and for carboxylic acid is <span>carboxyl group (-COOH).
</span>Alpha carbon is <span>the first </span>carbon<span> atom after the carbon that attaches to the functional group.</span>

A gaseous hydrocarbon contains 80% carbon and 20% hydrogen, 1dm3 of the compound at s.t.p weighs 1.35g find the molecular formul
Cloud [144]

Answer:

C₂H₆

Explanation:

To obtain molecular formula of the gas, you need to find first its molecular mass.

To find molecular mass you need to obtain moles of gasbecause molecular mass is the ratio between mass of the gas and the volume it occupies.

As at STP, 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4dm³, 1dm³ of gas are:

1dm³ × (1mol / 22.4dm³) = 004464moles.

Its molecular mass is:

1.35g / 004464moles =

30.24g/mol

Now, if the gas is 80%C and 20%H, its <em>empirical formula (Simplest ratio of atoms in a molecule) </em>is:

80% Carbon × (1mol / 12.01g) = 6.66moles C

20% Hydrogen × (1mol / 1.01g) = 19.8moles H

Ratio of H:C is:

19.8 mol H / 6.66mol C = 3

Thus, you can know you will have 3 moles of Hydrogen per mole of Carbon, CH₃ (It weighs 15.04g/mol)

As the gas weighs 30.24 ≈ 2 CH₃

The molecular formula is:

What is the density of a 0.5cm3 nugget of gold that has a mass<br> of 10g?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The density is 20 g/cm3

Explanation:

The density (δ) is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a compound:

δ=m/v= 10 g/0,5 cm3=<em>20 g/cm3</em>
