how do you draw an esters displayed formula first get the carboxylic acid and the alcohol that it's made of and draw their displayed formula. Draw the -OH on the left of the alcohol and the -COOH on the right of the carboxylic acid, draw the carboxylic acid on the left and alcohol on the right so both their groups are beside each other. Remove the H from the OH and the OH from the COOH, this forms water. Re draw the alcohol and carboxylic acid but this time without the removed atoms. Join the oxygen with the carbon atom and we're done.

how do you name an addition polymer from it's monomer first write poly and put brackets around the monomers name

how do we write alkenes numbers from their displayed formula first you see where the double bond is, we always pick the one with the lowest number, so if we get the double bond by going 1 from the right or 3 from the left, 1 is lowest so we pick that to be the number. So we don't read it from right to left or left to right, just what produces the smallest number.

how does combusting fossils fuels correlate to acid rain fossils fuels contain impurities like sulfur, so if these fossils fuels are burnt so is the sulfur. This sulfur produces sulfur dioxide which is a sulfur oxide which can react with water and oxygen in the air to form sulfuric acid. This sulfur dioxide could only react with the water and produce a weaker acid called sulfurous acid. Both of these acids fall as rain.

how do we test for alkanes and alkenes in the absence of UV light, we add our unknown solution to bromine water, if a reaction doesn't happen then it probably contains an alkane as alkanes need UV light to react with a halogen.

what's wrong about this and why pent-3-ene pent-3-ene doesn't exist, this is because pent means five, so pentene would have 5 carbon atoms, this means it has 4 places for the double bond to occur. If it happens at the first or end it is pent-1-ene, if it happens in the second or third it is pent-2-ene, this is 4 bonds done. This means that there is only pent-1-ene and pent-2-ene.
