Answer:

Option A. the hydroxyl group (-OH)

Explanation:

Ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH belongs to the class of organic compound called alkanol.

They have general formula as R–OH

Where

R => is an alkyl group

OH => is the hydroxyl group

The hydroxyl group (OH) is the functional group of the alkanol (alcohol)

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1) Word equation (given)

calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid) + oxygen (gas)

2) Chemical formulae of the reactant and products:

Calcium chlorate:

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

Calcium chloride

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

Oxygen

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

Phases

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) Chemical equation:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4) Balanced chemical equation:

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom Reactant side Product side

Ca 1 1

Cl 2 2

O 3×2 = 6 2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Explanation:

Alcohols belong to a group of organic compounds which contain -OH group as the functional group.

So alcohols have the same carbon -hydrogen bonds as alkanes and the -OH functional group identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

the effect of oxygen on these types of microbes is it will kill them.

Explanation:

When oxygen present in the environment come in contact with anaerobe bacteria it kill them because oxygen in air act as excited oxygen singlet molecule which will react with the water present in the cell of bacteria and convert it into hydrogen peroxides and bacteria do not have any defense system from hydrogen peroxide and ultimately it kill the bacteria.
