Answer : The number of double bonds present in propane is, Zero.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : Lewis-dot structure shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

Carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

The total number of valence electrons in C_3H_8 = 3(4) + 8(1) = 20

In the given molecule propane, there is a single bond present between the carbon-carbon atom and carbon-hydrogen atom.

According to the Lewis-dot structure, the number of double bonds present in propane is, Zero.

The Lewis-dot structure is shown below.

Answer:- none

Explanations:- For naming hydrocarbons we use the suffix -ane, -ene and -yne.

-ane is used when we have only single bonds between all carbons. -ene is used if there is any double bond between two carbons and the -yne is used if there is any triple bond between two carbons.

The given name of the compound is propane. It ends at -ane and so it's an alkane and must have single bonds between all the carbons it has. So, there are zero double bonds present in C_3H_8 .

This is also clear from the below lewis dot structure of the compound.

Answer:

2 NO (g) → N2 (g) + O2 (g)

2 NOCl (g) → 2 NO (g) + Cl2 (g)

____________________________

2NOCl (g) ⟶ N2 (g) + O2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

ΔH = [90.3 kJ x 2 x -1] +  [-38.6 kJ x -1 x 2] = -103.4 kJ

The ΔH for the reaction is -103.4 kJ

How does concentration affect the chemical equilibrium?
nevsk [136]
When the concentration of a reactant is increased, the chemical equilibrium will shift towards the products. More product is formed and the concentration of the reactants decreases as the concentration of the products increases.

5) answer is A
Burka [1]

Answer:

A)  positive; added

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2NaHCO3(s) + 129kJ → Na2CO3(s) + H2(g) + CO2(g)

<em>2 moles of NaHCO3 requires 129kJ to produce 1 mole of Na2CO3, 1 mole of H2 and 1 mole of CO2.</em>

<em />

That means, the energy must be added being, thus, an exothermic reaction. The exothermic reactions have ΔH >0.

Thus, right answer is:

A)  positive; added
