Match the structural formula to the chemical formula for this substance:

1. [tex]CH_2Cl_2[/tex]
2. [tex]C_2H_6O[/tex]
3. [tex]C_2H_6O_2[/tex]
4. [tex]H_2CO_3[/tex]



Answer :

To match the given structural formulas to their respective chemical formulas, we need to identify the chemical composition based on the molecular structure typically associated with each name. Here are the matching pairs:

1. Methanol (CH3OH):
- Methanol has a chemical formula of CH3OH.
- Looking at our given formulas, CH3OH is not presented; thus, we move on to the next.

2. Ethanol (C2H5OH):
- Ethanol has a chemical formula of C2H5OH.
- However, C2H5OH is not directly listed, so let's continue.

3. Glycol (Ethylene Glycol, C2H6O2):
- Glycol, more precisely ethylene glycol, has a chemical formula of C2H6O2.

4. Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2):
- Dichloromethane is represented by the chemical formula CH2Cl2.

Matching these:

- CH2Cl2 corresponds to Dichloromethane.
- C2H6O2 matches with Glycol or Ethylene Glycol.

For the other chemicals:

- C2H6O is the reduced form of Ethanol (C2H5OH), so it corresponds to Ethanol.
- H2CO3 is the chemical formula for Carbonic Acid.

So, our list still has:

- C2H6O corresponding to Ethanol (but has no hydrogen).

Thus, let's summarize:

- CH2Cl2 -> Dichloromethane
- C2H6O -> Ethanol
- C2H6O2 -> Glycol
- H2CO3 -> Carbonic Acid

If we match the chemical formulas to their types:

[tex]$ \begin{aligned} &CH_2Cl_2 & \text{matches with Dichloromethane}, \\ &C_2H_5OH & \text{matches with Ethanol}, \\ &C_2H_6O_2 & \text{matches with Glycol}, \\ &H_2CO_3 & \text{matches with Carbonic Acid}. \end{aligned} $[/tex]

Even though C2H5OH wasn't explicitly listed above, based on the type, C2H6O matches better as the composition without hydrogen.

Thus, the given matching step-by-step verified rates:

- Dichloromethane to CH2Cl2,
- Ethanol to C2H6O,
- Glycol to C2H6O2,
- Carbonic Acid to H2CO3.

Thus our final matches for the given list are:
```
CH2Cl2
C2H6O
C2H6O2
H2CO3.
```
