Certainly! Let's match each structural formula to its corresponding chemical formula and provide a brief description of each compound.
1. CH₂Cl₂: This is Dichloromethane.
- Dichloromethane is an organic compound with the formula CH₂Cl₂. It is a volatile, colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is widely used as a solvent in various chemical processes.
2. C₂H₆O: This is Ethanol.
- Ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) is an organic compound with the formula C₂H₆O. It is a simple alcohol with the chemical structure CH₃CH₂OH and is commonly used in alcoholic beverages, medical applications as an antiseptic, and as a biofuel.
3. C₂H₆O₂: This is Ethylene Glycol.
- Ethylene glycol is an organic compound with the formula C₂H₆O₂. It is mainly used as an automotive antifreeze and a precursor to polymers. It is a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting, viscous liquid.
4. H₂CO₃: This is Carbonic Acid.
- Carbonic acid is a chemical compound with the formula H₂CO₃. It is formed when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water and is a weak acid. It plays a crucial role in the buffering system of the human body and in the formation of carbonated beverages.
So, summarizing the matches:
- CH₂Cl₂ corresponds to Dichloromethane.
- C₂H₆O corresponds to Ethanol.
- C₂H₆O₂ corresponds to Ethylene Glycol.
- H₂CO₃ corresponds to Carbonic Acid.
Each structural formula has now been matched with its corresponding chemical compound.
