Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds, whereas Alkenes and Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain one or more double bond and triple bonds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A saturated hydrocarbon with an only single bond is called alkanes. Ethane consisting of two carbon atoms that are bonded with a single bond and six hydrogen atoms sharing the other valence electron of carbon atoms. The molecular structure of alkane is CnH2n+2.
  • An unsaturated hydrocarbon with a two bond is called alkenes. Ethene consisting of two carbon atoms double-bonded to each other. The molecular structure of alkene is CnH2n.
  • An unsaturated hydrocarbon with a triple bond is called as alkynes. It involves sharing three pairs of electrons. The molecular structure of alkyne is CnH2n-2.

What can be said about a reaction with H = 62.4 kJ/mol and S = 0.145 kJ/(mol·K)?
Zigmanuir [339]
Answer:

At 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at  T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

Explanation:

1) Variables:

G = Gibbs energy
H = enthalpy
S = entropy

2) Formula (definition)

G = H + TS

=> ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

3) conditions

ΔG < 0 => spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 => equilibrium
ΔG > 0 non espontaneous reaction

4) Assuming the data given correspond to ΔH and ΔS

ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS = 62.4 kJ/mol + T 0.145 kJ / mol * K

=>  T = [ΔH - ΔG] / ΔS

ΔG = 0 =>  T = [ 62.4 kJ/mol - 0 ] / 0.145 kJ/mol*K = 430.34K

This is, at 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at  T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! And thanks in advance
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce. The circulatory system picks up oxygen in the lungs and drops it off in the tissues, then performs the reverse service for carbon dioxide.
