what is the general formula for straight-chain hydrocarbons with n carbon atoms and m (multiple) double bonds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Katarina [22]3 years ago
8 0

the formula:

C_{a} H_{2a+2-2x}

where

a - number of the carbon atoms

x - number of double bonds

We take as a example the hydrocarbon with 4 carbon atoms

x = 1 → C_{4} H_{2*4+2-2*1} → C_{4} H_{8}

x = 2 → C_{4} H_{2*4+2-2*2} → C_{4} H_{6}

x = 3 → C_{4} H_{2*4+2-2*3} → C_{4} H_{4}

A student heats 10.52 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate in a crucible until the compound completely decomposes to sodium carbonate
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate is:

2NaHCO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(s)+H_2O(g)+CO_2(g)

Thus, since there is a 2:1 mole ratio between the sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate, and the molar masses are 84.01 and 105.99 g/mol respectively, we obtain the following theoretical yield:

m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=10.52gNaHCO_3*\frac{1molNaHCO_3}{84.01gNaHCO_3}*\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{2molNaHCO_3}  *\frac{105.99gNa_2CO_3}{1molNa_2CO_3}\\\\ m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3

Best regards!
