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

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 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 many cubic miles are 8.48E+08 gallons of water? The density of water at ambient conditions is 1.000 g/mL.
Inessa05 [86]

The volume of the water in cubic meter is determined as 3.2 x 10⁶ m³ .

<h3>Weight of one gallon of water</h3>

The weight of 1 gal of water is given as 3785 g

Mass of 8.48 x 10⁸ gal = 3785 x 8.48 x 10⁸ = 3.2 x 10¹² g

<h3>Volume of the water in cubic meters</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Volume = 3.2 x 10¹² g/1 gmL

Volume = 3.2 x 10¹² mL x 10⁻⁶ m³/mL = 3.2 x 10⁶ m³

Thus, the volume of the water in cubic meter is determined as 3.2 x 10⁶ m³ .

What is the empirical formula of a molecule containing 65.5% carbon, 5.5% hydrogen, and 29.0% oxygen
natta225 [31]
Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles

Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles

Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles

EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements

So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1

Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O
