Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The functional group is an atom, group of atoms or bond which is responsible for the chemical reactions of the members of a series of organic compounds.

The chemical properties of various groups of compounds in organic chemistry depends of the concept of functional groups. They help us to classify molecules into families or groups based on a common general molecular formula.

The nature of the functional group determines the overall chemical properties of the molecule such as polarity, water solubility, and so on. Chemical reactions occur only at the functional group.

For instance, for the reaction below, reaction occurs at the functional groups as follows;

CH3COOH + CH3OH -------> CH3COOCH3

Also, during amide formation, reaction occurs between the carbonyl chloride and an amine at the respective functional groups as shown;

CH3COCl + CH3NH2 -----> CH3CONHCH3 + HCl

list 10 chemical reactions that have benefited your life today. Include the reasons you think each was indeed a chemical reactio
Dennis_Churaev [7]

1) The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:  

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Plants convert solar energy into the chemical energy of sugars (food).

2) Chemical reaction of cellular respiration:  

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O.

Organic carbon (glucose) is transformed into inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) that goes into atmosphere.

3) Gasoline combustion:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O.

Gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).

Gasoline is being burn.

4) Balanced chemical reaction of forming rust: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Forming rust usually last for few months and iron changing in another substance with different properties.

5) An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.  

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).  

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).

Copper is forming from the solution, that is chemical change.

6) Balanced chemical reaction: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂.

Making limewater  (diluted solution of calcium hydroxide).

7) Neutralization is reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In this reaction, there are no acids and bases, only salts.

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and antacid:

2CH₃COOH(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → (CH₃COO)₂Mg(s) + 2H₂O(l).

Precipation is formed.

8) Balanced chemical reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid:

MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O(g).

Acid dissolves metal oxides.

9) Chemical reaction of silver in air:

4Ag + 2H₂S + O₂ → 2Ag₂S (tarnish) + 2H₂O.

Silver change color in the air.

10) Forming of patina: 2CuO + CO₂ + H₂O → Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂.

Brass (copper) change color to green.

Vinegar contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with percent masses of 40.01% C, 6.70% H, and 53.29% O, respectively. Determine th
kobusy [5.1K]

The empirical formula is = C2H4O2

Molecular formula=C2H4O2

<h3>Calculation of Molecular formula and empirical formula:-</h3>

Vinegar has three elements:

oxygen = 53.29%,

hydrogen = 6.70%,

and carbon = 40.01%.

We can create an equation for the total mass of vinegar with 'a' carbon atom,' b' hydrogen atom, and 'c' oxygen atoms using the molar masses of C, H, and O.

12*a + 1*b + 16*c = 60

We also know that C makes up 24 g/mol, or 40.01 percent, of the overall mass of 60 g/mol.

The formula contains two C atoms because each C atom has a molecular mass of 12 g/mol. You may determine that the formula contains 4 H and 2 O atoms by using the same reasoning for H and O.

The empirical formula is = C2H4O2

Molecular formula= (C2H4O2)n

(4 x 12 + 1 x 4 + 16 x 2)n = 60

(84)n = 60

n=60/84

n=0.71=1

Molecular formula=C2H4O2
