Does the order of elements in a molecule matter?

Yes, particularly in organic chemistry. Dimethyl ether and ethyl alcohol have the same empirical formula, C2H6O, for example, but very different properties. One major difference between them is that the oxygen atom in ethyl alcohol is directly bonded to a hydrogen atom as well as a carbon atom, whereas in dimethyl ether the oxygen is bonded directly to two carbon atoms and no hydrogen atoms.


What compound is h3c o ch3?

The compound with the formula H3C-O-CH3 is dimethyl ether, which is an ether consisting of two methyl groups (CH3) connected by an oxygen atom. It can be represented as CH3OCH3. Dimethyl ether is a colorless gas at room temperature and is used as a solvent, a fuel, and in the production of various chemicals.


When one molecule of dimethyl ether is burned how many molecules of product are formed?

One molecule of dimethyl ether will yield five molecules of product when burned, two carbon dioxide and three water.


How many moles of molecules are in 138 g of dimethyl ether?

To find the number of moles of dimethyl ether in 138 g, we first need to calculate the molar mass of dimethyl ether, which is 46 g/mol. Then, we can use the formula moles = mass / molar mass to find that there are 3 moles of dimethyl ether in 138 g.

Is Ch3-O-CH3 capable of hydrogen bonding?

No, Ch3-O-CH3 (dimethyl ether) cannot form hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonding requires a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. In dimethyl ether, both of the carbon atoms are bonded to oxygen, not hydrogen.
