Answer:

Fatty acid  

Explanation:

A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long chain of 12 or more carbons.

If the molecule has no other distinguishing features, the compound is hexacosanoic acid, CH₃(CH₂)₂₄COOH.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

There is one single covalent bond between two carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We know that sharing of electrons form covalent bonds.

If we look upon K,L,M ,N shells of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

We found that Hydrogen is having only  1 electron in K shell.

And Carbon on the other hand is having 2 electrons in K shell and 4 electrons in L shell.

So carbon have  4 valence electrons,and it can share 4 bonds with any relevant atom to complete its octet.

And Hydrogen requires  1 electron to complete its doublet.

Alkane general formula C_{n}H_{2n+2}

For ethane n=2

C_{2}H_{4+2} = C_{2}H_{6}

1 Carbon atom is shared by  3 Hydrogen.

The remaining one electron (4-3)=1 of carbon will be shared with another carbon atom.

An image of the sharing of electrons attached below,

Hence we have only  1 covalent bond between the two.

Valence electrons<br> Fill in the blanks
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Valence electrons or outer electrons are most important as they participate in bonding. The octet rule states that atoms gain, lose, or share valence electrons to have filled energy levels.. this gives atoms a stable configuration like that of the nearest noble gas.

2. 2. Consider the following reaction occurring in a closed chemical system. Assume that this reaction is at equilibrium and tha
Alika [10]

1. This is a combustion reaction.<span>

<span>Combustion reactions can happen with the </span>presence of O</span>₂ <span>gas. O₂<span> reacts with another element or compound and </span></span>oxidize<span> it. Here ethanol reacts with O₂<span> and produces </span></span>CO₂ and H₂O as products.<span> <span>Combustion is also called as </span></span>burning. <span>

2. Reaction will shift to right. <span>

</span><span>If more CH</span>₃CH₂OH is added to the system, then the</span> amount of CH₃CH₂OH will increase.<span> <span>Then the equilibrium in the system </span></span>will be broken.<span> <span>To make the equilibrium again, the </span></span>added CH₃CH₂OH should be removed.<span> To do that system will consume more CH</span>₃CH₂<span>OH to make products which helps to decrease the amount of ethanol. Hence, the reaction will shift to right.<span>

3. The reaction will shift to right.</span><span>

</span><span>If the water is extracted from the system, the </span>amount of water will decrease. <span>That means the </span>amount of products decrease. Then the system will try to gain equilibrium by increasing the water. To increase water the forward reaction should be enhanced. <span>Hence, the</span> reaction will shift to right.<span>

4. The reaction will shift to right.

</span><span>This is an </span>exothermic reaction <span>since it </span>produces heat. If the produced heat is removed, then the system will be cold. To maintain the temperature, system has to increase the amount of heat produced. Then, the forward reaction should be enhanced. Hence, the reaction will shift to right.<span>

5. The Le Chatelier's principle.

</span>Le Chatelier's principle says if a condition changes in a system which was in an equilibrium state, the system will try to gain equilibrium by correcting the changed condition back to normal. Most of industries which make chemicals use this principle</span>
