Answer: $C_2H_2$

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is $C_nH_{2n+2}$ and are called as alkanes.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is $C_nH_{2n}$ and $C_nH_{2n-2}$ respectively.

$C_4H_8$ and $C_2H_4$ are alkenes.

$C_4H_{10}$ is an alkane.

Thus $C_2H_2$ with general formula $C_nH_{2n-2}$ is an alkyne.

The answer is C2H2 because an alkyne compound consists of a series of unsaturated hydrocarbons with a triple bond.

Answer:

Answer B

Explanation:

By definition mixtures are combinations of substances physically prepared and physically separated. Mixtures are classified as 'homogeneous mixtures' and 'heterogeneous mixtures'. For homogeneous mixtures all components are dissolved, with solute evenly distributed throughout the solution and assumes state of solvent. 'Heterogeneous mixtures' have inconsistent properties throughout and solute concentration is not consistent throughout the mixture.

Based on your knowledge of factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions, predict the trend in the last column of the expe

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The rate of reaction depends on on the concentration of reactants. As the concentration of reactants increases, the rate of reaction increases likewise.

If we look at the table, we will discover that the concentration of the thiosulphate is increasing because the volume of water added is decreasing. As such, the rate of reaction increases simultaneously.

Since the rate of reaction increases, the time taken for the cross to disappear decreases steadily. Hence, the values in the last column of the table decreases steadily.

How many atoms are there in 10.0 g of sodium?

Alex73 [517]

Use the grams to moles first. The molar mass of sodium is 22.99g, so 10/22.99 ≈ 0.43 moles. The use moles to atoms conversions. 0.43 x (6.022 x 10^23), which would be about 2.62 x 10^23 atoms in 10g of sodium.

Natalija [7]

Answer:
If a small amount of br2 is added to an aqueous solution of an unknown monosaccharide, the reddish-brown color of br2 will disappear if the monosaccharide is an Aldose.

Explanation:
This happens because the Aldose contains a carbonyl group called Alsedyde. Bromine being a oxidizing agent oxidizes the aldehyde functional group to Carboxylic Acid moiety. While this test is not positive in case of Ketonic Functional group.
