Answer: <span>Yes, a hydrocarbon is any compound that contains hydrogen and oxygen.

Justification:

First, I will try to rewrite the given structural formula since it is misrepresented.

This should be the right structural formula:

       H    H
       |      |
H - C  -  C - OH
       |      |
      H     H

And, yes the definition of hydrocarbon is that it is most simple organic compound constitured only by atoms of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H).

By the way, that hydrocarbon is also represented as CH3 - CH2 OH, it is an alcohol (since it has the functional group OH) and its name is ethanol.

1. In the investigation of an unknown alcohol, there was a positive Jones test and a negative Lucas test. What deductions may be
pogonyaev

Answer:

1. When observing a positive test for the jones reagent and negative for the Lucas test, it indicates that it is in the presence of a primary alcohol.

Jones reagent behaves like a strong oxidant, where it transforms the primary alcohols into carboxylic acids and the secondary alcohols into ketones. Tertiary alcohols do not react.

With the Lucas test, tertiary alcohols react immediately producing turbidity, while secondary alcohols do so in five minutes. Primary alcohols do not react significantly with Lucas reagent at room temperature.

2. No reaction (See the attached drawing)

What changes are observed on heat capacity ratio and output temperatures by increasing the specific heat capacity of both the fl
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

b- The heat capacity ratio increases but output temperature don’t change

Explanation:

The heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a body, by 1 degree. On the other hand, the specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a of unit mass of a material by 1 degree.

Heat capacity is an extensive property meaning its value depends on the amount of material. Specific heat capacity is found by dividing heat capacity by the mass of the sample, thus making it independent of the amount (intensive property). So if the specific heat capacity increases and the mass of the sample remains the same, the heat capacity must increase too. Because of that options c and d that say that heat capacity reamins same are INCORRECT.

On the other hand, in which has to be with options a and b both say that the heat capacity increases which is correct, but about the output temperatures what happens is that if we increase the specific heat capacity of both fluids that are involved in a process of heat exchange in the same value, the value of the output temperatures do not change so only option a is CORRECT.
