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.

Answer:

Q14: 17,140 g = 17.14 kg.

Q16: 504 J.

Explanation:

<u><em>Q14:</em></u>

  • To solve this problem, we can use the relation:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat absorbed by ice (Q = 3600 x 10³ J).

m is the mass of the ice (m = ??? g).

c is the specific heat of the ice (c of ice = 2.1 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = 100.0°C - 0.0°C = 100.0°C).

∵ Q = m.c.ΔT

∴ (3600 x 10³ J) = m.(2.1 J/g.°C).(100.0°C)

∴ m = (3600 x 10³ J)/(2.1 J/g.°C).(100.0°C) = 17,140 g = 17.14 kg.

<u><em>Q16:</em></u>

  • To solve this problem, we can use the relation:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat absorbed by ice (Q = ??? J).

m is the mass of the ice (m = 12.0 g).

c is the specific heat of the ice (c of ice = 2.1 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = 0.0°C - (-20.0°C) = 20.0°C).

∴ Q = m.c.ΔT = (12.0 g)(2.1 J/g.°C)(20.0°C) = 504 J.
