Each carbon atom has 4 elections available for bonding. One of 2 of these are used for the C - C bond so there are 6 available to bond with hydrogen. So maximum number of hydrogen atoms = 6.

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. This means that there are 4 valence electrons present in a carbon atom. Hence, in order to complete its octet it needs to gain 4 more electrons.

Whereas atomic number of hydrogen atom is 1. As in the given molecule there are only two carbon atoms. So, both of them will chemically combine together by sharing of one electron.

Hence, each carbon atom will be attached to three carbon atoms. In total there will be six hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the molecule will be $H_{3}C-CH_{3}$ .

Assume that the complete combustion of one mole of glucose to carbon dioxide and water liberates 2870 kJ/mol2870 kJ/mol ( Δ????°

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Number of contraction cycles that could theoretically be fueled by the complete combustion of one mole of glucose is around 17

Explanation:

Energy released during the complete combustion of 1 mole glucose = 2870 kJ

Energy required/muscle contraction cycle = 67 kJ/contraction

Energy conversion efficiency = 39%

Actual amount of energy converted to contraction per mole of glucose is:

$=\frac{39}{100} *2870 kJ=1119.3 kJ$

Total contraction cycles fueled by the above energy is:

$=\frac{1119.3\ kJ}{67\ kJ/contraction} =16.7\ i.e.\ around\ 17\ contractions$

A mixture that separates into different layers when you stop stirring it is Select one: a. a solution. b. a suspension. c. a col

leva [86]

Answer: b suspension

a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation . The particles may be

visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer , and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not settled out. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve , but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent , left floating around freely in the medium. [1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation , with the use of certain excipients or suspending agents.

An example of a suspension would be sand in water. The suspended particles are visible under a

microscope and will settle over time if left undisturbed. This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid , in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.

Colloids and suspensions are different from

solution , in which the dissolved substance (solute) does not exist as a solid, and solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed.
