Concept explainers
Interpretation:
IHD for the compound having the molecular formula
Concept introduction:
In order to determine the IHD of a given molecular formula, first, draw any saturated molecule that has the same number of each non-hydrogen atom as in the given formula. The saturated molecule must not contain double bonds, triple bonds, or rings. Each atom should have its normal number of bonds and lone pairs to avoid formal charges. Thus, each carbon should have four bonds, each hydrogen should have one bond, each oxygen should have two bonds and two lone pairs, and each halogen must have one bond and three lone pairs of electrons. The next step is to determine how many more hydrogen atoms are in this saturated molecule compared to the formula that is given. In the last step, the IHD is calculated by dividing that number of additional hydrogen atoms by 2.

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. Instrumental data…arrow_forward
