Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?

Chemistry

<span>Because hydrocarbons consist only C-H bonds, which are non-polar. When you look at the table of electronegativity (Pauling scale), you see, that the difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen is much smaller than that of nitrogen and hydrogen.

<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
algol13

Answer:

x = 4.5

4.5 moles of C2H6  is required to produce 13.5 moles of H2O

Explanation:

Given equation is :

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

if it requires 2 moles of C2H6 to produce 6 moles of H2O

then x moles of C2H6 is required to produce 13.5 moles of H2O

Using unitary method for solving, we get

x = 13.5 x 2 / 6

x = 13.5 / 3

x = 4.5

Therefore, 4.5 moles of C2H6  is required to produce 13.5 moles of H2O
