Some fats are called "saturated" fats because __________. Select one: a. their carbon skeleton is bent to form four fused rings
marin [14]

Answer:

All carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Saturated fats are class of compounds having all the fatty acids containing only single bonds. In other words, carbon skeleton has only single bonds.

Unsaturated compounds undergoes hydrogenation to form saturated fats.

In hydrogenation, hydrogen atoms are added to the carbon attached to double bond. After become saturated, no more hydrogen atoms can be added.

Therefore, it can be said that in saturated fats all carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

Be sure to answer all parts.The combustion of a 40.0−g gaseous mixture of H2 and CH4 releases 3766 kJ of heat. Calculate the amo
Svetach [21]

Answer:H2=11.4g

CH4=28.6g

Explanation:The complete combustion of the two gases can be represented by a balanced reaction below

1. CH4 +2O2___CO2+2H2O

2.2H2+O2___2H2O

Combining the two we have CH4 +2H2+3O2___

CO2+4H2O

Since the mixture contains 40gof CH4 and 2, therefore 20g of CH4 and 8g of H2 combines.

Calculated from their molecular Mass i.e CH4 12+4×2)=20 and 2H2= 2×2×2=8g

Mass of CH4=20/28×40=28.6g

2H2=8/28×40=11.4g
