The correct answer is option C.

1-hexene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

2-methylheptane , 3-ethylpentane and cyclopentane have the suffix -ane, which means they are all alkanes . Alkanes do not have any unsaturation or double bonds.

1-hexene, has the suffix -ene, which means that it is an alkene. Alkanes do have unsaturation or double bonds. As the name indicates, 1-hexene has one double bond.

CH₂=CHCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃

$\boxed{\text{C. 1-hexene}}$ is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Further Explanation:

Hydrocarbons:

The organic compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon atoms alone are called hydrocarbons. Such compounds can be aromatic, aliphatic, linear, branched or cyclic. Aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanes, cycloalkanes are different types of hydrocarbons.

Types of hydrocarbons:

(I) Saturated hydrocarbons

These are variety of hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds in them and are the simplest hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbons have the general formula of $\text{C}_{\text{n}}\text{H}_{\text{2n+2}}$ in which n indicates the number of carbon atoms present in it. Examples of saturated hydrocarbons are methane, ethane, butane and propane.

(II) Unsaturated hydrocarbons

The type of hydrocarbons that has multiple bonds in them are known as unsaturated hydrocarbons. Multiple bonds can be either double or triple bonds. Alkenes are those unsaturated hydrocarbons consisting of double bonds in them. For example, ethene, propene, and pentene are alkenes. Alkynes refer to unsaturated hydrocarbons with triple bonds in them. Ethyne and propyne are examples of alkynes. Alkenes are represented by general formula, $\text{C}_{\text{n}}\text{H}_{\text{2n}}$ while alkynes are represented by general formula of $\text{C}_{\text{n}}\text{H}_{\text{2n-2}}$ .

Alkanes use ‘ane’ as suffix in their naming. Alkenes use ‘ene’ as suffix while ‘yne’ is used in naming of alkynes.

Since 2-methylheptane, 3-ethylpentane and cyclopentane have suffix ‘ane’ in their names and are tered as saturated class of hydrocarbons called alkanes. But 1-hexene has suffix ‘ene’, indicating that it belongs to unsaturated hydrocarbons called alkenes. Therefore 1-hexene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

(a) The original value of the reaction quotient, Qc, for the reaction of H2(g) and I2(g) to form HI(g) (before any reactions tak

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

Assume the initial concentrations of H₂ and I₂ are 0.030 and 0.015 mol·L⁻¹, respectively.

We must calculate the initial concentration of HI.

1. We will need a chemical equation with concentrations, so let's gather all the information in one place.

H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI

I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.30 0.15 x

2. Calculate the concentration of HI

$Q_{\text{c}} = \dfrac{\text{[HI]}^{2}} {\text{[H$_{2}$][I$_{2}$]}} =\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.30 \times 0.15} = 5.56\\\\x^{2} = 0.30 \times 0.15 \times 5.56 = 0.250\\x = \sqrt{0.250} = \textbf{0.50 mol/L}\\\text{The initial concentration of HI is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.50 mol/L}}$}$

3. Plot the initial points

The graph below shows the initial concentrations plotted on the vertical axis.

Identify the mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar and suggest a technique for separating their components

mihalych1998 [28]

A- Identify the mixture:
The mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar is considered as a homogeneous mixture. This means that you cannot identify the components with naked eye as they are uniformly distributed in the mixture.

B- Separate components:
You ca separate the charcoal powder from the sugar powder using the following steps:
1- add water. Sugar will dissolve in water while charcoal won't.
2- filter the solution where the powdered charcoal will remain on the filter paper and the solution of powder will pass through.
3- boil the sugar solution (above 100 degrees celcius). The water will evaporate and the sugar will precipitate.

How many atoms in 2.25 mol of O2

Luden [163]

Answer:

1 molecule of oxygen has 2 atoms.

So 2,25 molecules of oxygen have 2 x 2,25 atoms.

2 x 2,25 = 4,5 atoms

There are 4,5 atoms in 2,25 molecules oxygen.
