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.

- indefinite shape & volume

- affected by magnetic and electric field

- drift and flow freely

4. Liquids have fixed volume meaning packed tighter together as gases do not have fixed shape or volume .

Increasing the concentration of reactants generally increases the rate of a reaction because particles

This increases the rate of rxn because the particles, because according to the Collision Theory, the rate of rxn is proportional to number of effective collisions between the reactant molecules.

A lawnmower runs on gasoline.what type of energy transformation takes place in its engine?

Eva8 [605]

The gas is ignited (I think) and combustion happens where the gasoline turns into gas (the state of being) and expands, pushing something and making the blades turn so

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ

when a number in scientific notation contains a significant zero, is that zero also significant in the expanded notation? give t

AlexFokin [52]

I believe you are referring zero as the exponent. Any number (except 0) with exponent 0 is defined to mean 1.

For one thing, there is a rule:

a^m/ a^m = a^m-m = a^0

But (when a is not equal to 0),

a^m/ a^m = 1

Therefore, we must define a^0 as 1.
