Describe how the molecular structures of alkenes and alkynes differ from the structure of alkanes

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Elimination of the pharmaceutical IV antibiotic gentamicin follows first-order kinetics. If the half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 h

Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

The given data is:

The half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hrs.

The reaction follows first-order kinetics.

The initial concentration of the reactants is 8.4 x 10-5 M.

The concentration of reactant after 8 hrs can be calculated as shown below:

The formula of the half-life of the first-order reaction is:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_1_/_2}$

Where k = rate constant

t1/2=half-life

So, the rate constant k value is:

$k=\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs}$

The expression for the rate constant is :

$k=\frac{2.303}{t} log \frac{initial concentration}{concentration after time "t"}$

Substitute the given values and the k value in this formula to get the concentration of the reactant after time 8 hrs is shown below:

$\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs} =\frac{2.303}{8 hrs} x log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} \\ log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} =1.604\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=10^1^.^6^0^4\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=40.18\\y=\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{40.18} \\=>y=2.09x10^-^6$

Answer: The concentration of reactant remains after 8 hours is 2.09x10^-6M.

•What was the physical property used by mendeleev<br> in creating his periodio table?<br>Answer!

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Explanation: Mendeleev arranged the elements on the basis of their atomic mass. Melting and boiling point were used as the physical characteristics in deciding the position of elements. He arranged the elements and wrote the formula of their oxides and hydrides which seemed to possess same chemical formula.
