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.

For the reaction shown, calculate how many grams of oxygen form when each quantity of reactant completely reacts.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
The balanced chemical reaction is given as follows:

<span>2 KClO3(s) → 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g)

The starting amount of the reactant are given above. These values would be used for the calculations. We do as follows:

</span>2.72 g KClO3 (1 mol / 122.50g )( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3 ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 1.06 g O2
<span>
0.361 g KClO3 </span>(1 mol / 122.50g )( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3 ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 0.14 g O2
<span>
83.6 kg KClO3 (1000g / 1kg) </span>(1 mol / 122.50g )( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3 ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 3275.76 g O2
<span>
22.5 mg KClO3</span> (1 g / 1000 mg) (1 mol / 122.50g )( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3 ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 0.009 g O2
