Trans fats: Think about how the prefix trans- is used in naming alkenes.

In an alkene, cis and trans isomers are possible because the double band is rigid, cannot rotate, has groups attached to the carbons of the double bond that are fixed relative to each other, and only occurs with double bonds-possibility that molecule will have different geometries; two different molecules with slightly different properties. 
-Trans-2 ends of chain across the double bond.
While naming Cis-Trans isomers the prefix cis or trans are placed in front of the alkene name when there are cis-trans isomers.

Alkenes have done bonds and they have two geometrical isomer: cis and trans alkene.  

In cis alkenes identical atoms or groups are positioned on same side of the double bond and in trans alkenes identical atoms or groups are positioned on opposite side of the double bond.  

Unsaturated fatty acids have both cis and trans fats. Elaidic acid is an example of trans found in hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Which of the following hydrocarbons has a double bond in its carbon skeleton?1) C3H82) C2H63) CH44) C2H45) C2H2
Kipish [7]

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.

Calculate the molar concentration of the Br⁻ ions in 0.51 M MgBr2(aq), assuming that the dissolved substance dissociates complet
Y_Kistochka [10]
MgBr2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Br⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MgBr2 that dissolves.
MgBr2(s) --> Mg+(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)
            [Br⁻] = 0.51 mol MgBr2/1L × 2 mol Br⁻ / 1 mol MgBr2 = 1.0 M
The answer to this question is [Br⁻] = 1.0 M

When 3.00 g of sulfur are combined with 3.00 g of oxygen, 6.00 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) are formed. What mass of oxygen would b
Drupady [299]
Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.

2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃

The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:

7 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.218 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.218 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.3275 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.3275 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 10.48 g O₂
