The skeletal structure of an organic compound is an abbreviated representation of its molecular structure, they are quick and easy to draw.
For example, the following image shows the skeletal structure of a compound:
The peaks represent the carbons. We must remember that carbon can have a maximum of 4 bonds.
Now, I will show you how is the structure of this specific compound:
This is ternary alcohol, called 2-methyl-2-butanol. If you see carefully, you will notice that each carbon has 4 bonds. The functional groups present will be OH. The skeletal structure will be:
Hence, it is less preferrable to choose an isotope to enter your body, which will emit radioactivity for a long time, so we tend to choose isotopes, the radioactivity of which ceases quickly, so that the least possible amount of damage is caused to the cells
Answer:
a) yes, it was an hydrate
b) the number of waters of hydration, x = 6
Explanation:
a) yes it was an hydrate because the mass decreased after the process of dehydration which means removal of water thus some water molecules were present in the sample.
b) NiCl2. xH2O
mass if dehydrated NiCl2 = 2.3921 grams
mass of water in the hydrated sample = mass of hydrated - mass of dehydrated = 4.3872 - 2.3921 = 1.9951 g which represent the mass of water that was present in the hydrated sample.
NiCl2.xH2O
mole of dehydrated NiCl2 = m/Mm = 2.3921/129.5994 = 0.01846 mole
mole of water = m/Mm = 1.9951/18.02 = 0.11072 mole
Divide both by the smallest number of mole (which is for NiCl2) to find the coefficient of each
for NiCl2 = 0.01846/0.01846 = 1
for H2O = 0.11072/0.01846 = 5.9976 = 6
thus the hydrated sample was NiCl2. 6H2O
