Questions: Isopropanol, (CH3)2CHOH, is an organic compound that is a common ingredient in many disinfectants. Which statement best describes an isopropanol molecule? A hydrocarbon that is classified as an alkene because it has at least one double bond. A hydrocarbon that is classified as an aromatic because it has a ring structure of six-alternating carbon-carbon single bonds and double bonds. A small organic compound that will also mix with water because it contains a dipole moment in its chemical structure. A large organic compound that will not dissolve in water because it is mostly nonpolar in its chemical structure.

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Structure of Isopropanol

Isopropanol, also known as isopropyl alcohol, has the chemical formula \((\mathrm{CH}_3)_2\mathrm{CHOH}\). Its structure consists of a three-carbon chain with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the middle carbon atom.

Step 2: Determine the Classification of Isopropanol

Isopropanol is not a hydrocarbon because it contains an oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group. It is an alcohol due to the presence of the -OH group.

Step 3: Evaluate the Statements

  1. A hydrocarbon that is classified as an alkene because it has at least one double bond.

    • Incorrect. Isopropanol does not have any double bonds; it has single bonds and a hydroxyl group.

  2. A hydrocarbon that is classified as an aromatic because it has a ring structure of six-alternating carbon-carbon single bonds and double bonds.

    • Incorrect. Isopropanol does not have a ring structure; it is a straight-chain molecule.

  3. A small organic compound that will also mix with water because it contains a dipole moment in its chemical structure.

    • Correct. Isopropanol is a small organic molecule with a hydroxyl group, which is polar and can form hydrogen bonds with water, making it miscible with water.

  4. A large organic compound that will not dissolve in water because it is mostly nonpolar in its chemical structure.

    • Incorrect. Isopropanol is a small molecule and is polar due to the hydroxyl group, allowing it to dissolve in water.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{A small organic compound that will also mix with water because it contains a dipole moment in its chemical structure.}}\)

Look at the two graphs below. Label each graph with the scenario it most likely represents. Notice that for each graph, a similar rainstorm occurs, releasing water into the environment. The horizontal (x) axis represents time. The light blue curve shows the amount of streamflow (called river discharge) in each environment. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. - Abundant open farmland allows for infiltration of water into the ground - Flooding in an urban area - This setting is more likely to produce - Concrete surfaces mean water flows directly to the stream or river after a storm - Flooding in a rural area
