As the name indicate that in 1-octene there is a double bond on the first position in the eight carbon atoms chain THUS to detect its presence, we use bromine water test;

Add bromine water to the test tube containing octane/octene if the brown colour of bromine water disappears then octene is present.

Which best describes an oxidizing agent?

stellarik [79]

Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

$M\rightarrow M^++e^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

$N^++e^-\rightarrow N$

Overall reaction: $M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N$

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

How does a chemist count the number of particles in a given number of moles of a substance?

jolli1 [7]

The chemist the count the number of particles (Atoms, Molecules or Formula Unit) in a given number of moles of a substance by using following relationship.

Moles = # of Particles / 6.022 × 10²³

Or,

# of Particles = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³

So, from above relation it is found that 1 mole of any substance contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ particles. Greater the number of moles greater will be the number of particles.
