An alcohol, X has an Mr of 74 and percentage composition of 64.9% Carbon, 13.5% Hydrogen and 21.6% Oxygen. It does not turn potassium dichromate (VI) green. Determine the structural formula of X, and state its name.

64.9/12 = 5.40833 21.6/16 = 1.35 5.40833/1.35 = 4 so 4 Carbons 13.5/1.35 = 10 so 10 Hydrogens 1.35/1.35 = 1 so 1 Oxygen 4x12+10+16 = 74 so emperical formula = Molecular formula it is a tertiary alcohol becau...

A hollow sphere of radius r is being filled with water. The surface area of a hemisphere is 3pi*r^2. Question: When the water is at height r, and filling at a rate of 4cm^3s^-1, what is dS/dT?

By the chain rule ds/dt = ds/dr * dr/dv * dv/t. At a height of r, the water fills a hemisphere. So ds/dr = 6pi r. dr/dv = 1/(dv/dr), so we need to find dv/dr. Students should have the formula for the volume ...
