(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula of alanine should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The molecule term is defined as smallest unit of matter that is formed when two or more atoms are joint with covalent bonds. These molecules can be represented in a structural formula as well as chemical formula.
The structural formula is representation of molecule that shows specific connections such as covalent bonds between the atoms by lines. The chemical formula is representation of molecule with proper alphabetical order and number of different atoms present in the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula of ethylene glycol should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The molecule term is defined as smallest unit of matter that is formed when two or more atoms are joint with covalent bonds. These molecules can be represented in a structural formula as well as chemical formula.
The structural formula is representation of molecule that shows specific connections such as covalent bonds between the atoms by lines. The chemical formula is representation of molecule with proper alphabetical order and number of different atoms present in the molecule.
(c)

- The emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes.
