It's believed by many that a good way to vandalize a car is to pour sugar (sucrose) in its gas tank. the sugar is believed to di

ssolve in the gasoline, enter the gas lines and then "caramelize" into a gunky texture when combusted. if you wanted to test this theory casually, without jeopardizing anyone's car, which of the solvents used in the experiment would be the best to use?

Answer is: in this experiment it is best to use some liquid alkanes (for example hexane), because gasoline<span> consists of hydrocarbons with between four and twenty carbon atoms</span>. Gasoline is a mixture <span> of many different hydrocarbons: </span><span>alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes  and alkenes (olefins).</span>

rusting of steel can be prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc. Explain, in terms of electron transfer, why steal d
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.

Explanation:

This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.

Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.

Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.

Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.

Which answer choice lists the number and type of elements in a compound in the way that is close to their actual arrangement?
alexandr1967 [171]

The chemical formula of a compound express the atoms by which the molecule is formed and the ratio of the atoms in which they are combined.

The space filling model of a compound describe the electron density in the compound of each atom.

The ball and stick arrangement of a compound describe the way in which the molecules are present in three dimensions.

The structural formula state the number of atoms present in the molecule, the type of element or atom present in the molecule and the way in which they are arranged closely which is the bond.

Thus only the structural formula only will cover all the options as stated.
