A compound with the formula C6H12 is not considered a Saturated hydrocarbon.

Why is C6H12 isn't considered a Saturated hydrocarbon?

The ring's presence demonstrates that it is unsaturated. Keep in mind that the general formula for aliphatic hydrocarbons, CnH2n+2, serves as the foundation for its saturation. A chemical is unsaturated if it does not meet this requirement.

Example:

Hexane (C6H14)

C = 6; H = 14 = 2(6) + 2

resulting in hexane becoming saturated.

Cyclohexane(C6H12)

C = 6 and H = 12 do not equal 14 (x)!

cyclohexane is an unsaturated molecule as a result.

Cycloalkanes have the general formula C2H2n as well.

Hence, the given statement is false.

The molecular weight of Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3, is 100.09g/mol

laila [671]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Molecular mass of $CaCo_3$ :

Molecular mass of Ca + molevular mass of C + molecular mass of O × 3

40g + 12g + 16 × 3g

= 40g + 60 = 100g

Thus its true

Which substance will form a solution when mixed with solid sodium chloride?

s2008m [1.1K]

The substance that will form a solution when mixed with solid sodium chloride would be CH₂OH

<h3>Solubility of NaCl</h3>

A solution is only formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent.

In this case, $CCl4_$ and CH₂OH are the only liquid solvents. However, NaCl is insoluble in $CCl_4$ while it is soluble in CH₂OH due to its polarity.
