- Distinguish between High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) by giving ONE (1) example each.arrow_forwardOnly explain carrow_forward1. Formaldehyde (methanal: H2C=0) can be polymerized to produce Delrin (polyoxymethylene), a strong and easily molded plastic. Write a chemical reaction that shows the formation of this polymer.arrow_forward
- Under certain conditions water reacts with alkenes to form alcohols.Calculate the mass of ethanol (molar mass = 46.0 g/mol) produced when starting with 596.4 g of ethene (molar mass = 28.0 g/mol), assuming that the reaction goes to completion.Give your answer to three significant figures.C2H4 + H2O → CH3CH2OHarrow_forwardWrite the chemical equation for the reaction of propanoic acid with 1-butanol (an alcohol). The formula of 1-butanol is CH-CH-CH2-CH2-OH. Which is formula of the this rule of reaction?arrow_forward1. Identify which of the following compounds containing carbon are inorganic or organic glucose (C6H12O6) propane (C3H8) calcium carbide (CaC2) benzene (C6H6) carbon disulfide (CS2)arrow_forward
- There are two different butanoic acids with the formula C5H10O2. Draw and name them.arrow_forwardBreak open your cyclohexane ring to make n-hexane (C6H14). (You will need two extra hydrogen atoms to the terminal carbon atoms to complete your model). Is hexane flexible or rigid? The melting point of cyclohexane is 6o C whereas the melting point of hexane is -94o C. Can you suggest a reason for this based on the structures you have made?arrow_forwardC7H16(g) + O2(g) → C2H2(g) + O2(g) → C3H8O(g) + O2(g) → HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH3OH + O2(g) → NaI(aq) + Cl2(g) → Li(s) + N2(g) → C3H6(g) + O2(g) → AlCl3(s) → Ca(s) + HCl(aq) → LiOH(aq) + Fe(NO3)3(aq) →arrow_forward
- a. Candle wax contains an alkane with 28 carbon atoms per molecule. What is the molecular formula of this alkane?A. C28H54B. C28H56C. C28H58D. C28H60 b. Which of the following might be the respective relative molecular masses of four consecutive members of a homologous series?(Relative atomic masses: H = 1.0, C = 12.0, O = 16.0)A. 32, 46, 60, 74B. 26, 38, 50, 62C. 28, 38, 48, 58D. 44, 57, 70, 83arrow_forward1. There are five structural isomers for hexane, C6H₁4. Draw the five structures using simplified structural formulae. For example, one of the isomers of butane, C4H₁0, could be drawn as CH3CH₂CH₂CH3. Use the same sort of format for the other questions on this page. 2. STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM 3. Draw as many structural isomers as possible for C3H8O. Draw as many structural isomers as you can for CH₂0 containing a benzene ring. 4. Draw as many structural isomers as you can for C4H8O₂ containing the grouparrow_forwardwrite a balanced chemical equation for the fermentation of glucose (c6H12O6)by yeasts in which the aqueous glucose turns into aqueous ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and carbon dioxide gasarrow_forward
