vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago

Answer: 7σ +3π

Explanation:

Cumulene has its formular to be C4H4. Structurally it is composed of 4 carbon to Hydrogen single bonds and 3 double bonds.

It is worthy of note that in the field of chemistry:

A double bond is made up of 1σ bond and 1π bond.

A single bond is made up of 1σ bond.

Therefore the structure of Cumulene contains:

4 single bonds = 4σ

3 double bonds = 3 (σ + π )

4σ + 3σ +3π = 7σ +3π

A hydrocarbon with three or more consecutive (cumulative) double bonds is known as a cumulene. They are analogous to allenes, only exhibiting a more elongated chain. The basic molecule in this category is butatriene, which is also simply known as cumulene.  

In the structure of a cumulene, there are 3 double bonds and 4 single bonds. The double bond comprises 1 sigma bond, and 1 pi bond and 4 hydrogen bond produces a sigma bond with carbon. Thus, the molecule of cumulene comprises 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds.

A metal sample weighing 129.00 grams and at a temperature of 97.8 degrees Celsius was placed in 45.00 grams of water in a calori
Nitella [24]

Answer : The specific heat of metal is 0.481J/g^oC.

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of metal = 129.00 g

m_2 = mass of water = 45.00 g

T_f = final temperature = 39.6^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 97.8^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.4^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

129.00g\times c_1\times (39.6-97.8)^oC=-45.00g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (39.6-20.4)^oC

c_1=0.481J/g^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of metal is 0.481J/g^oC.

The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.0 kg of C₈H₁₈.

The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.23 g/mol.

1.0 × 10³ g × 1 mol/114.23 g = 8.8 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced from 8.8 moles of C₈H₁₈

The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8. The moles of CO₂ produced are 8/1 × 8.8 mol = 70 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 70 moles of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

70 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 3.1 × 10³ g = 3.1 kg

Natural gas is a mixture of many substances, primarily CH₄, C₂H₆, C3H8, and C4₄H₁₀. assuming that the total pressure of the gase
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A. The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0925atm

B. The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.925atm

C. The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.346atm

D. The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.115atm

Explanation:

Total pressure = 1.48atm

Total mole = 0.4+4+1.5+0.5=6.4

A. Mole fraction of CH4 = 0.4/6.4 = 0.0625

The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0625 x 1.48 = 0.0925atm

B. Mole fraction of C2H6 = 4/6.4 = 0.625

The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.625 x 1.48 = 0.925atm

C. Mole fraction of C3H8 = 1.5/6.4 = 0.234

The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.234 x 1.48 = 0.346atm

D. Mole fraction of C4H10 = 0.5/6.4 = 0.078

The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.078 x 1.48 = 0.115atm
