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.

How much H2O is produced when 20000 g of C2H2 burns completely? Answer in units of g.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

H  = 1

C = 12

O = 16

Acetylene, HC≡CH = 2+24 = 26

H2O = 2 + 16 = 18

In XS oxygen, one HC≡CH yields one H2O

26 g HC≡CH  ==> 18 g H2O

2000 g HC≡CH ==> 2000*18/26 g H2O =  1384.6154 g H2O

What is the ph of a solution made by mixing 25.00 ml of 0.100 m hcl with 40.00 ml of 0.100 m koh? assume that the volumes of the
Digiron [165]
<span>Answer: The HCl and KOH will react until one or the other is gone. As you have a larger volume of an equal concentration of HCl, the KOH will go first. moles HCl = 0.04000 L * 0.100 M = 0.00400 moles moles KOH = 0.02500 L * 0.100 M = 0.00250 moles moles HCl left = 0.00400 - 0.00250 = 0.00150 moles Your total volume is now 65.00 mL, so the [HCl] = 0.00150 moles / 0.06500 L = 0.0231 M = [H+] pH = -log [H+] = -log (0.0231) = 1.64</span>

Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.
