What kinds of information does a structural formula reveal about the compound it represents

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In organic chemistry, the structural formula shows the bonding and general layout of the molecule.

Explanation:

It can also help in naming the molecule, as many compounds with the same molecular formula have different structural formulas, for example cycloalkanes and alkenes, or aldehydes and ketones.

It tells us about the constituents of the compound, or in other words, the functional groups present. This enables us to predict what kind of properties the compound has and what kind of reactions it can undergo.

It can also help us determine the stereochemistry (shape and spatial orientation) of the compound. This is especially important in organic chemistry and organic chemstry, since certain important reactions will proceed if and only if a molecule with the right shape is employed.

How does an atom become a positive ion? a negative ion?
OleMash [197]

So ions are atoms that have either gained or lost electrons to complete their energy levels.

In order for a positive ion to be formed, an atom must lose electrons.

In order for a negative ion to be formed, an atom must gain electrons.

When an atom loses and electron, it loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion.

Galvanized nails are iron nails that have been plated with zinc to prevent rusting. The relevant reaction is Zn2+(aq)+2e−→Zn(s)
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

52.0 moles

Explanation:

no. of moles of Zn =\frac{mass}{molar mass}=\frac{3400g}{65.38g/mol}=52.0mol

The important part in this question is changing the kilograms to grams so that the units of the mass(grams) are divisible by the units of the molar mass (grams/molar mass)

If heat is supplied to the stillpot too rapidly, the ability to separate two liquids by fractional distillation may be drastical
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Yes, it's temperature dependent

Explanation:

A good fractional distillation depends largely upon maintaining a temperature gradient within the column. Perfectly, the temperature at the bottom of the column should be close or similar to the boiling temperature of the solution in the pot, and it should reduce continuously in the column until it reaches the boiling point of the more volatile component at the top of the column. If the distillation flask is heated too quickly, the whole column will heat up almost distributively and eliminate the desired temperature gradient. The result will be little fractionation and separation of the components.

Basic substance formed by Chlor- alkali process
Andre45 [30]

The chloralkali or chlorine-alkali industry is an essential component of the chemical industry and generates sodium hydroxide and chlorine via the electrolysis of NaCl (table salt). The prime raw material is brine, that is, a saturated solution of NaCl, which is attained from the deposits of natural salt.  

The products of this industry possess various essential uses like chlorine is used as a disinfectant, and is used to purify water, and for various other uses. Caustic soda or sodium hydroxide is also used for various applications like making cleaning agents and soap, making paper, purifying bauxite, and making rayon.
