Answer:
The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2
Explanation:
The empirical formula is CH2O ( or better said CnH2nOn)
This means there are 3 elements in the formula of this molecule
⇒ Carbon (C) with a Molar mass of 12 g/mole
⇒ Hydrogen (H) with a Molar mass of 1 g/mole
⇒ Oxygen (O) with a Molar mass of 16 g/mole
We can also notice that the amount of hydrogen should 2x the amount of carbon ( also 2x the amount of oxygen).
The mass of the empirical formule = 12g/ mole + 2* 1 g/mole + 16 g/mole = 30 g/mole
To know what number is n in CnH2nOn we should divide the molecular mass by the empirical mass:
60 g/mole / 30g/mole = 2
this means n = 2
and this will give a molecular formule of C2H4O2
We can control this to calculate the molecular mass:
2*12 + 4* 1 + 2*16 = 24 + 4 + 32 = 60 g/mole
The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2
Answer:
This is false.
Explanation:
This statement directly opposes the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can transfer from one source to another.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The question is incomplete because the image of the alcohol is missing. However, I will try give you a general picture of the reaction known as hydroboration of alkenes.
This reaction occurs in two steps. In the first step, -BH2 and H add to the same face of the double bond (syn addition).
In the second step, alkaline hydrogen peroxide is added and the alcohol is formed.
Note that the BH2 and H adds to the two atoms of the double bond. The final product of the reaction appears as if water was added to the original alkene following an anti-Markovnikov mechanism.
Steric hindrance is known to play a major role in this reaction as good yield of the anti-Markovnikov like product is obtained with alkenes having one of the carbon atoms of the double bond significantly hindered.
the big number describes the number ratio in a chemical equation
so for example,
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O means
2 moles of hydrogen reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water
and as you know, the small (subscript) number determines the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of a compound
so I believe that drawing a normal lewis structure ( O=O ) should be correct
