Answer:

A. The carbons share three pairs of electrons in ethyne and only two pairs in ethene

Explanation:

Both ethene and ethyne are hydrocarbons i.e. they contain C and H.

Ethene belongs to the alkene series with a formula C2H4. Here the carbon atoms are linked together via a double bond and carbon and hydrogens are linked via a single bond.

Ethyne belongs to the alkyne series with a formula C2H2. The C atoms are linked by a triple bond and carbon and hydrogens are linked via a single bond.

Since each bond constitutes a pair of electrons, accordingly the carbons share three pairs of electrons in ethyne and only two pairs in ethene.

The correct answer is A. The carbons in ethyne share three pairs of electrons which makes it an alkyne while in ethene only two pair of electrons are being shared by the two carbon atoms. In other words, ethyne contains a triple bond while ethene contains a double bond.

Acetylene is hyrodgenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains 1.60 mol H2/mol C2H2. The reaction proceeds to comple
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

C₂H₂     +   2H₂   =     C₂H₆

1 mole     2 mole        1 mole

Feed of reactant is 1.6 mole H₂ / mole C₂H₂

or 1.6 mole of H₂ for 1 mole of C₂H₂

required ratio as per chemical reaction written above

2 mole of  H₂ for 1 mole of C₂H₂

So H₂ is in short supply . Hence it is limiting reagent .

1.6 mole of H₂ will react with half of 1.6 mole or .8 mole of C₂H₂ to form .8 mole of C₂H₆

a )Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio =  mole H₂ reacted/mole C₂H₂ reacted

= 1.6 / .8 = 2 .

b )

yield ratio = mole C₂H₆ formed / mole H₂ reacted ) = 0.8 / 1.6 = 1/2 = 0.5 .
