Answer:

CH

Explanation:

When a hydrocarbon burns, there are only two products. These are hydrogen and carbon iv oxide. The general equation for burning a hydrocarbon is shown below:

Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Since 9g Of water is formed, we can get the number of moles of hydrogen and the mass of hydrogen.

We now need to get the actual moles of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon to know what the chemical formula is.

The number of moles of hydrogen and its mass can be obtained from that of water. The number of moles of water is simply the mass of water divided by the molar mass. The molar mass of water is 18g/mol. The number of moles is thus 9/18 which is 0.5. Since there are two atoms of hydrogen in one molecule of water, the number of moles of hydrogen is thus 2 * 0.5 which equals one mole.

The mass of hydrogen is thus the number of moles of hydrogen * the molar mass of hydrogen which is

1 * 1 = 1g

Hence, the mass of the carbon in the hydrocarbon is 13 - 1 = 12g

The number of moles of carbon present is thus 12/12 which equals 1.

Since the mole ratio is 1 to 1 , the formula of the hydrocarbon is thus CH

bulgar [2K]

V1/T1 = V2 / T2

V1 = 3/4(1700) = 1275

T1 = 10 + 273.15 = 283.15

V2 = 1700

T2 = V2T1

T2 = (1700) (283.15) / 1275

T2 = 377.53 K

True or false? different reactions require different catalysts.
lapo4ka [179]

True, different reactions require different catalysts. Hence, option 1 is correct.

<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction or lowers the temperature or pressure needed to start one, without itself being consumed during the reaction.

Though a catalyst is supposed to remain unaltered at the end of the reaction, it does take part in the reaction by providing active centres for the reaction to take place.

By helping to form a suitable activated complex in the course of the reaction, the catalyst increases the rate of formation of the product, as well as its yield.

Therefore, a catalyst has to be reactant-specific to form the favourable activated complex or intermediate.

Hence, option 1 is correct.

Polymerization starts at the ________ end of the template.
balandron [24]

Answer:

B.  3'

Explanation:

Polymerization is the process of forming large molecules by joining together many small molecules. The small molecules are known as the monomers, and the macromolecules are called polymers.

There are two(2) types of polymerization.

a. addition polymerization

b. condensation polymerization

Polymerization is characterized by eliminating small molecules such as water, carbon(IV)oxide, methanol e.t.c.

In complex compounds, polymerization starts at the 3' end of the template.
