Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Describe what is happening within the system when it is at equilibrium in terms of concentrations, reactions that occur, and reaction rates.

Explanation:

The chemical equilibrium state is the state where the rate of forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of backward reaction.

At this stage the change in concentration of reactants becomes equal to the change in concentration of products.

The reaction will never cease.

That is the reason chemical equilibrium is called dynamic equilibrium.

So, forward and backward reactions will be taking place continuously at equal rates.
