Answer:

Hexane is a saturated hydrocarbon.

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbon: These are those carbon molecules which have single bond between carbon and carbon atom.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons:These are those carbon molecules which have double or triple bond between carbon and carbon atom.

Hexane is an organic molecule with molecular formula $C_6H_{14}$ . A hydrocarbon with no double and triple bond due to which it is categorized under saturated hydrocarbon. And along with that is a non polar compound.

baherus [9]

Answer:

density=1.43 g/L

Explanation:

Since the density formula is density = mass / volume, we need to find out the mass of the gas and the volume is that of the container.

The mass of the gas is 130.0318 g-129.6375 g=0.3943 g

The gas volume is 276mL*(1L/1000mL) 0.276 L

density = mass / volume=0.3943g/0.276L

density =1.43g/L

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.

A 34.0 gram sample of an un-known hydrocarbon is burned in excess oxygen to form 93.5 grams of carbon dioxide and 76.5 grams of

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The answer to your question is CH₄

Explanation:

Process

1.- Write the possible chemical reaction

CxHy + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O

2.- Calculate the amount of carbon in the reaction

Molecular mass of CO₂ = 12 + 32 = 44 g

44 g of CO₂ ------------------- 12 g of carbon

93.5 g of CO₂ ---------------- x

x = (93.5 x 12) / 44

x = 25.5 g of carbon

3.- Calculate the mass of hydrogen in the sample

Molecular mass of water = 2 + 16 = 18 g

18 g of water ------------- 2 g of hydrogen

76.5 g of water -------- x g of hydrogen

x = (76.5 x 2) / 18

x = 8.5 g of hydrogen

4.- Calculate the moles of carbon and hydrogen in the sample

12g of carbon ------------- 1 mol

25.5g of carbon ---------- x

x = (25.5 x 1) / 12

x = 2.12 moles of carbon

1 g of hydrogen ----------- 1 mol

8.5 g of hydrogen -------- x

x = (8.5 x 1) / 1

x = 8.5 moles of hydrogen

5.- Divide both number of moles by the lowest number

carbon = 2.12 / 2.12 = 1

hydrogen = 2.12 = 8,5 / 2.12 = 4

6.- Write the molecular formula

CH₄

How many kilojoules of heat are released when 0.72 mole of oxygen gas are used to combust methane?

KonstantinChe [14]

0.72 mole of oxygen would produce 320.4 kJ of heat.

<u>Explanation:</u>

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (ℓ) + 890kJ

According to the equation,

2 moles of O₂ produces 890 kJ of heat

So, 0.72 moles of O₂ will produce:

$= \frac{890}{2} X 0.72\\\\= 445 X 0.72\\\\= 320.4 kJ$

Therefore, 0.72 mole of oxygen would produce 320.4 kJ of heat.
