Acetylene (C2H2) has a triple bond between the two carbons. So 3 pairs of electrons. Biomed is talking about ethylene (C2H4).

Explanation:

Acetylene (systematic name: ethyne) is the synthetic compound with the formula C2H2. It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne. This colorless gas is widely utilized as a fuel and a chemical structure block. It is uncertain in its pure form and thus is usually marketed as a solution

Which of the following has the lowest Ka?a. carbonic acid b. dihydrogen phosphate c. phosphoric acid d. bicarbonate
Naya [18.7K]

Explanation:

A compound or molecule which will have least dissociation and that is not able to given hydrogen ion easily upon dissociation will also have a low value of K_{a}.

Dissociation of the given compounds or species will be as follows.

 H_{2}CO_{3} \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + HCO^{-}_{3}

 H_{2}PO^{-}_{4} \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + HPO^{-}_{4}

 H_{3}PO_{4} \rightleftharpoons H_{+} + H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}

As, chemical formula of bicarbonate is HCO^{-}_{3} and due to the presence of a negative charge it is difficult to lose a positively charged hydrogen ion. This is because oppositely charged ions will be bonded by strong force of attraction.

Hence, it will not easily lose a hydrogen ion due to which bicarbonate has the lowest K_{a}.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species bicarbonate has the lowest K_{a}.

Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions: CH2 (g) + H2O(g)=CO (g) + 3H2 (g) K1 CO (g) + H2O
Flauer [41]

Answer:

K = K1×K2 = [CO2] [H2]⁴ / [H₂O]² [CH4]

Explanation:

Based on the reactions:

CH2 (g) + H2O(g) ⇄ CO (g) + 3H2 (g) K1

CO (g) + H2O (g) ⇄ CO2 (g)+H2(g) K2

The sum of both reactions is:

CH4 (g)+2H2O (g) ⇄ CO2(g)+4H2(g) And K of the reaction is: K = K1×K2

K is defined as the ratio between concentrations of products and reactans. Each compound must be elevated to its coefficient in the reaction. That is:

<h3>K = K1×K2 = [CO2] [H2]⁴ / [H₂O]² [CH4]</h3>

Determine the point groups for a. Naphthalene b. 1,8-Dichloronaphthalene c. 1,5-Dichloronaphthalene d. 1,2-Dichloronaphthalene
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a). Nepthalene is a D2h molecule because it has 3 C2 axes which are perpendicular and it has a mirror plane which is horizontal. Moreover C2 is taken as principal axis.

b). 1,8-dichloronaphthalene is a C2v molecule beccause it has 1 C2 axis, two rings are joined by the C-C bond and it also has two mirro planes.

c). 1,5-dichloronaphthalene is a C2h molecule because it has only 1 C2 axis which is pependicular to the plane, it has an inversion center and also a mirror plane which is horizontal in position.

d). 1,2-dichloronaphthalene is a Cs molecule because it has only a mirror plane.
