Answer:

  • <u>C₂H₄</u>  (option number 4)

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon with a <em>double bond</em> in its carbon skeleton is an alkene and has the general form:

  • C_nH_{2n}.

This is, the number of hydrogen atoms is twice the number of carbon atoms.

On the other hand, alkanes have only single bonds, and the compounds with a triple bond in its carbon skeleton are alkynes.

Review each choice:

1) <u>C₃H₈:</u>

  • In this case, the number of hydrogen atoms is 2×3 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8, which is corresponds to an alkane, not an alkene.

2)<u> C₂H₆</u>

  • For this, the number of hydrogen atoms is 2 × 2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6. Again an alkane, not alkene.

3) <u>CH₄</u>

  • Hydrogen atoms: 1 × 2 + 2 = 4 ⇒ an alkane

4) <u>C₂H₄ </u>

  • Hydrogen atoms: 2 × 2  = 4.  This is precisely the relation for an alkene, so this is the hydrocarbon that has a double bond in its carbon skeleton.

  • The chemical formula may be writen as CH₂ = CH₂, to show the double bond.

So, this is the correct answer.

5) <u>C₂H₂</u>

  • Hydrogen atoms: 2 × 2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2. This relation of carbon and hydrogen atoms corresponds to a compound with triple bond, i.e an alkyne: CH≡CH.

The maximum kinetic energy of a box sliding from the top of a ramp to the bottom is A) at the top. B) at the bottom. C) at the e
Readme [11.4K]

Kinetic energy of an object can be expressed in terms of its mass m and velocity v as:

KE = 1/2 * m* v²

Thus higher the velocity, greater will be the Kinetic energy. Now, as the box moves along a ramp from top to bottom, its velocity increases and so does the KE. Hence, kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom

Ans B) at the bottom

Jeffrey is making a model of tungsten for his chemistry class. He has foam balls for the protons, neutrons, and electrons. He ha
mrs_skeptik [129]

Atomic number (Z) of tungsten is 74

Mass number (A) of tungsten is 184

Now:

Atomic number of an element = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of neutrons

In the case of tungsten

Total Number of electrons = 74

Jeffrey has already added 21 electrons

Number of electrons needed = 74 - 21 = 53

Ans (D) 53 more electrons are needed to complete the neutral atom of tungsten.

29. Ammonia is formed with one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What is the electron configuration of nitrogen? How
masya89 [10]

Answer:

<u>One lone-Pair is present in Ammonia</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The number of valence electron in N = 5

The number of Valence electron in H = 1

The formula of ammonia = NH3

Total valence electron in ammonia molecule = 5 +3(1) = 5+3 = 8

The lewis structure suggest that :

Nitrogen completes its octet by sharing the electron pair with 3 hydrogen atoms.

3 electron of Nitrogen are involved in sharing with Hydrogen

So,<u><em> remaining two electron are left non-bonded</em></u> . Hence they exist as lone- pair

So, there is only 1 lone pair in the ammonia molecule .

The shape of NH3 is bent according to VSEPR theory . This is so because the presence of 1 lone pair causes more repulsion and occupy more space.

Thus the lone pair is changing the shape of the ammonia molecule . It also increase the dipole moment of the molecule , which gives polarity to it.

Assuming that all infrared vibrations are active, what is
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The number of lines possible for SO2 is 3

Explanation:

The following Procedure should be followed when calculating the number of vibrational modes:-

  1. Identify if the given molecule is either linear or non-linear
  2. Calculate the number of atoms present in your molecule
  3. Place the value of n in the formula and solve.

SO2 is a non-linear molecule because it contains a lone pair which causes the molecule to bent in shape hence, The mathematical formula for calculating the number of non-linear molecule in a infrared region is (3n - 6) here n is the number of atoms in molecule.

hence for Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), n will be 3

<u> Therefore, The number of lines possible for SO2 is  (3*3) - 6 = 3</u>

Given the following equation: 2K + Cl2 -&gt; 2KCl How many grams of KCl is produced from 4.00 g of K and excess Cl2?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

  Complete equation of the reaction:

              2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

        Number of moles of K =  \frac{4}{39} = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

   2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

 Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

   Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g
