Some hydrocarbons are regarded as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.

<h3>What are hydrocarbons?</h3>

Hydrocarbons are any organic compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon in its structure.

Hydrocarbons can be grouped into the following based on whether they contain single or double bonds:

  1. Saturated hydrocarbons - contain only single bonds e.g. alkanes
  2. Unsaturated hydrocarbons - contain double and triple bonds e.g. alkenes

Therefore, it can be said that some hydrocarbons are regarded as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.

During a combustion reaction, 9.00 grams of oxygen reacted with 3.00 grams of CH4.
Monica [59]

Answer:

0.74 grams of methane

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:

  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.

firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both

for CH₄:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) /  (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.

for O₂:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) /  (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.

  • it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.

using cross multiplication

1 mol of  CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂

???  mol of  CH₄  needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂

∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol

so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄

mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol

now we convert moles into grams

mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over *  molar mass

                                    = 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g

So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane

Balance the following chemical equation by providing the correct coefficients fe+h2so4 fe(so4)3 + h2
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

2Fe + 3H2SO4 + Fe2(SO4)3+ 3H2

Explanation:

1. Fe (SO4) 3 is an incorrectly written formula because iron is trivalent as we can see by this three ahead of SO4. SO4 is divalent always.

2. since (SO4) is 3, this three shows us that there must be 3 in the reactants as well.

so now there is 3H2SO4

3. Since we have added 3 to one hydrogen we must add another. So now it's 3H2

4. and finally iron. In Fe2 (SO4) 3 we see this 2 in front of Fe which means it goes 2Fe.
