Draw the condensed structural formula for the structure given on the CHEM 1152 worksheet for 1c and answer the following questions.
a) Give the molecular formula (not the structure) for this compound (CxHy) (to write the molecular formula, click the arrow next to the Bold, italic, underline icons to find the subscript button, hit again to get out of that mode) You can use this function for writing our condensed molecular structures also. 1 pt
b) Using the molecular formula, write out the balanced combustion reaction (There is an exercise in iCollege that explains how to balance combustion reactions, refer to this sheet). 3 pts
c) State the polarity (polar or nonpolar) of this compound and it's solubility in water (water is a polar compound). Explain. 4 pts
d) Give the IUPAC name for this compound. 2 pts
Expert Answer
How you need to determine the molecular formula: First form your given example . Fill out all the C atoms. Remember each carbon atom contains 4 hands. and hence in your picture if a C atom has only one hand ( one bond ) , fill it up with ( 4 -1 ) = 3
