Answer:
It means the chemical entity is a radical
Explanation:
When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.
While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.
In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.
Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?
The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.
Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.
Carbon can react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Which of the following statements about this chemical change is true? ... Carbon and oxygen atoms are destroyed as new atoms are formed. Carbon and oxygen atoms have the same properties as molecules of carbon dioxide.
To solve this problem we just need to use the rule of three:
150g..................395.1J
450g................xJ
x = 450*395.1/150 = 1185,3J
450.0 g of the substance completely reacted with oxygen will produce 1.1853 kJ(<span>kiloJoule</span>)
