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.

A student claims that if she wanted to make a solution quickly, she should use small pellets instead of powder along with heatin
torisob [31]

Answer:

<em>I disagree with the student's claim</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>From basic chemistry, the rate of chemical reaction increases with an increased surface area.</em>

<em>This simply means that a powdered substance will react faster than a small pellet of the same substance.</em>

Let us break this down further. The pellet has a smaller exposed surface per grain to the solvent, here is how. Imagine the powdered substance bunched up together to make the small pellet, grains at the center of the pellet is blocked by other grains around it, and will take time before it comes in contact with the solvent. For the powdered grains, each grain has a surface independently exposed to the solvent and can easily come in contact with the solvent, taking less time to react with the solvent.

Technically, a powdered substance has more exposed surface area and logically will take a shorter time for the reaction to be complete.
