Linolenic acid (C18H30O2) can be hydrogenated to stearic acid by reacting it with hydrogen gas according to the equation: C18H30
1 answer:
1.998 ml of hydrogen gas volume is is required to react with 10.5 g of linolenic acid in this reaction.
Explanation:
Data given:
mass of linolenic acid is given = 10.5 grams
atomic mass of linoleinic acid = 278.43 grams/mole
volume of hydrogen required at STP = ?
Balance chemical reaction:
C18H30O2 + 3H2 --->C18H36O2
moles of linoleinic acid given =
putting the values in the equation:
moles of linoleinic acid =
= 0.037 moles
from the balanced equation:
1 mole of linoleinic acid reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen
so, 0.037 moles will react with x moles of hydrogen gas
=
x = 0.111 moles of water
volume or mass = atomic mass x number of moles
volume of hydrogen gas= 1.998 ml

The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture.
For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

The most reactive metal on the periodic table is Francium, However, Francium is an artificial element and only minimal quantities have been produced, so for all practical purposes, the most reactive metal available is Cesium, in the alkali metal family.
ANSWER In theory, Francium, in practice the Cesium
