Answer: Molecular mass of the phenol is 94g/mol.

Explanation:

Phenol is an active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays.It is used as anesthetics to cure minor sour throat pain , minor mouth irritations etc.

For Example : Cramex , Chloraseptic sprays contains phenol as an active ingredient.

Phenol has a molecular formula of C_6H_5OH

Molecular mass of the phenol = 6(mass of carbon)+5(mass of hydrogen)+1(mass of oxygen)+1(mass of hydrogen) = 6(12)+5(1)+1(16)+(1) = 94 g/mol

The molar mass of phenol is \boxed{94.113{\text{ g/mol}}} .

Further Explanation:

Structure of phenol:

The phenol is a white crystalline aromatic compound which contains a hydroxyl group (-OH). Phenol is generally an active ingredient of phenol spray which helps in sore throat. It is also an active ingredient of some more oral analgesics which are used medically to reduce the pain.

The structure of phenol is composed of a benzene ring where one of the hydrogens is replaced by the –OH group. Since the molecular formula of benzene is {{\text{C}}_6}{{\text{H}}_6} , therefore, after replacing of one hydrogen atom with –OH group, the molecular formula becomes,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Molecular formula}}\left( {{\text{Phenol}}} \right)&= {\text{Benzene}}-{\text{H}}\left({{\text{one}}}\right)+{\text{OH}}\\&={{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}} - {\text{H}}+{\text{OH}}\\&={{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_5}+{\text{OH}}\\&={{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_5}{\text{OH}}\\\end{aligned}

Now calculate the molar mass of phenol as follows:

The formula to calculate the molar mass of phenol \left({{{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{OH}}}\right) is,

{\text{Molar mass}}=\left[\begin{gathered}\left({{\text{Total number of C}}}\right)\left({{\text{Atomic mass of C}}}\right)+\hfill\\\left({{\text{Total number of H}}}\right)\left({{\text{Atomic mass of H}}}\right)+\hfill\\\left({{\text{Total number of O}}}\right)\left({{\text{Atomic mass of O}}}\right)\hfill\\\end{gathered}\right]

The atomic mass of carbon atom is 12.011 g/mol.

The atomic mass of oxygen atom is 15.999 g/mol.

The atomic mass of hydrogen atom is 1.008 g/mol.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula,

Molar mass = [(Total number of C)(Atomic mass of C) + (Total number of H)(Atomic mass of H) + (Total number of O)(Atomic mass of O)]

\begin{aligned}{\text{Molar mass}}&=\left[\begin{gathered}\left( {\text{6}}\right)\left({{\text{12}}{\text{.011 g/mol}}} \right)+\left({\text{6}} \right)\left({{\text{1}}{\text{.008 g/mol}}}\right)+\hfill\\\left({\text{1}} \right)\left({{\text{15}{\text{.999gmol}}}\right)\hfill\\\end{gathered}\right]\\&=94.113{\text{ g/mol}}\\\end{gathered}

Therefore, the molar mass of phenol is 94.113 g/mol.

What is state symbols
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

State symbols are used in chemical equations to delineate the state of matter in which the reaction is taking place.

They give a good perspective of the state of the reactants and products obtainable.

There are basically four states of matter in every chemical reaction:

  • Solids are symbolized by small letter (s)
  • Liquids are represented by (l)
  • Gases are shown by (g)
  • Aqueous solutions having water as the medium by (aq)

These symbols appear as subscript in front of the chemical species.

Which product of prime polynomials is equivalent to 36x3 – 15x2 – 6x?
monitta
The product of prime polynomials is equivalent to 36x3 – 15x2 – 6x is letter B which is 3x(3x – 2)(4x 1). Below is the solution. 

3x(3x - 2) (4x + 1)
= 9x2 - 6x (4x + 1)
= 36x3 + 9x2 + -  24x2 - 6x
= 36x3 - 15x2 - 6x

How many molecules are in 3.6 grams of NaCl?
raketka [301]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{None}}

Explanation:

There are no molecules in NaCl, because it consists only of ions.

However, we can calculate the number of formula units (FU) of NaCl.

Step 1. Calculate the moles of NaCl

\text{No. of moles}=\text{3.6 g NaCl}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NaCl}}{\text{63.54 g NaCl}} = \text{0.0567 mol NaCl}

Step 2. Convert moles to formula units

\text{FU} = \text{0.0567 mol NaCl} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ FU NaCl}}{\text{1 mol NaCl}}\\\\= 3.4 \times 10^{22} \text{ FU NaCl}

There are \boxed{3.4 \times 10^{22} \text{ FU NaCl}} in 3.6 g of NaCl.
