Alkanes represent one family of organic compounds that is composed of carbon and hydrogen.

Alkanes are organic compounds that solely have hydrogen and carbon atoms in single bonds and do not have any additional functional groups. Alkanes can be divided into three groups: cycloalkanes, branched alkanes, and linear straight-chain alkanes.

The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2. Alkanes are also saturable hydrocarbons. Cyclic hydrocarbons like cycloalkanes have rings-shaped arrangements of their carbon atoms.

Therefore, Alkanes are an example of an organic chemical family made of carbon and hydrogen.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Arranged in order of most soluble to least soluble in water:

$KCl > CH_{4} > C_{4} H_{9} OH > C_{3}H_{8}$

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent due to the electric charge it possesses. Hence it would only dissolve polar molecules.

Non-polar molecules would be dissolved by non-polar solvents.

Short chain alcohols are more soluble than butanol, but generally the polar -OH group is soluble in water.

Hey there!

Elements and compounds are purely homogeneous substances and they have a constant composition throughout. Elements and compounds cannot be separated into their respective constituents by physical means. Compounds and mixtures are made up of different elements or different atoms.

A 1.555-g sample of baking soda decomposes with heat to produce 0.991 g Na2CO3. Refer to Example Exercise 14.l and show the calc

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) 101%

b)59.7%

Explanation:

The equation for the thermal decomposition of baking soda is shown;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Number of moles of baking soda= mass/molar mass= 1.555g/84.007 g/mol = 0.0185 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of baking soda yields 1 mole of sodium carbonate

0.0185 moles of baking soda will yield = 0.0185 moles ×1 /2 = 9.25 ×10^-3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, mass of sodium carbonate= 9.25 ×10^-3 moles × 106gmol-1= 0.9805 g of sodium carbonate. This is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate.

%yield = actual yield/theoretical yield ×100

% yield = 0.991/0.9805 ×100

%yield = 101%

Since ;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

And H2O + CO2 ---> H2CO3

Hence I can write, 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2CO3

Molar mass of H2CO3= 62.03 gmol-1

Molar mass of baking soda= 84 gmol-1

Therefore, mass of baking soda=

0.325/62.03 × 2 × 84 = 0.88 g of NaHCO3

% of NaHCO3= 0.88/1.473 × 100 = 59.7%

Please match each cofactor with its function. 1) thiamine pyrophosphate A) CO2 activation/transfer 2) coenzyme A B) oxidation/re

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1) thiamine pyrophosphate -activation of aldehydes

2) coenzyme A -acyl group transfer

3) biotin -CO2 activation/transfer

4) NAD -oxidation/reduction

Explanation:

1. Thiamine pyrophosphate: This is a derivative of Vitamin B1 also known as thiamine. It contains a pyrimidine group linked to the thiazole ring. This connection is further linked to the pyrophosphate group. It functions as a coenzyme in all reactions involving alpha-keto acids. This produces activated aldehydes that could be subject to oxidation.

2. Coenzyme A: This cofactor is a thiol that reacts with carboxylic acids to form thioesters. In so doing, it carries the acyl group. In this condition, it can also be referred to as acyl CoA.

3. Biotin: Also known as Vitamin B7, biotin consists of an ureido ring merged with tetrahydrothiophene. The ureido ring contains the CO2 that can be transferred or activated. Five carboxylase enzymes use biotin as a cofactor in processes such as fat synthesis, glucose generation and the breakdown of sugar.

4. NAD: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide consists of two dinucleotides connected to each other at their phosphate groups. NAD exists in two states which are the NAD+ and NADH states. These two states serve as oxidizing and reducing agents respectively. The oxidizing agent becomes reduced to NADH after accepting electrons from other compounds. NADH donates an electron and becomes oxidized to NAD+.
