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 boiling point of methanol is 64 7°C. Its melting point is -976°C. At room temperature (-25°C), methanol is in which state?
marissa [1.9K]

At -25 °C, methanol, whose boiling point is 64.7 °C and its melting point is -97.6 °C, is in the liquid state.

The melting point is the temperature at which a substance passes from solid to liquid. Below the melting point, a substance is in the solid state. Above the melting point, a substance is in the liquid or gas state.

The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance passes from liquid to gas. Below the boiling point, a substance is solid or liquid. Above the boiling point, a substance is in the gas state.

At -25 °C, methanol is above the melting point (-97.6 °C) and below the boiling point (64.7 °C). Thus, it is in the liquid state.

At -25 °C, methanol, whose boiling point is 64.7 °C and its melting point is -97.6 °C, is in the liquid state.
