The answer that would best complete the given statement above is the term ATOM. <span>The smallest unit which maintains the physical properties of a compound is an ATOM. But for a compound, it would be molecule. Hope this answers your question.</span>
Answer: The enthalpy of combustion, per mole, of butane is -2657.4 kJ
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is,
The expression for enthalpy change is,
Putting the values we get :
2 moles of butane releases heat = 5314.8 kJ
1 mole of butane release heat = 
Thus enthalpy of combustion per mole of butane is -2657.4 kJ
Alloys are supposed to give greater strength to metals, which is why gold is mixed with others to make it harder. They have greater strength and are more resistant to erosion.
The given compound is being synthesized by condensing
Acetone and
Pivaldehyde (Trimethylacetaldehyde).
First Acetone is treated with
Base, the base abstracts the mildly acidic proton present at alpha position to carbonyl group. The resulting specie called
enolate act as a nucleophile and attacks on highly reactive aldehyde which upon
dehydration yields the
Aldol Product. The Reaction is as follow,
