Hydrocarbons consisting of short carbon chains are ________.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tresset [83]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons with short chain lengths are more volatile than those with longer chains. A practical example of this can be seen in the first few members of the alkane series. They are mostly gaseous in nature and this is quite a contrast to the next few members which are solid in nature.

As we move down the group, we can see that there is an increase in the number of solids. Hence, as we go down the group we can see a relative increase in order and thus we expect more stability at room temperature compared to the volatility of the shorter chain

Which of the following combustion reactions is balanced correctly? A. C4H6 + 5.5O2 4CO2 + 3H2O B. C4H6 + 4O2 4CO2 + 3H2O C. C4H6
Airida [17]
You must verify that the number of atoms of each type is equal on both sides of the chemical equation: same number of C, same number of H and same number of O on both sides.

<span>A. C4H6 + 5.5O2 ---> 4CO2 + 3H2O

element      reactant side      product side

C                4                        4
H                6                        3*2 = 6
O                5.5 * 2 = 11        4*2 + 3 = 11

Then, this equation is balanced.

</span>Do the same with the other equations if you want to verify that they are not balanced.

Answer: option A.

State the periodic law, and explain its relation to electron configuration. (Use Na and K in your explanation.)
mina [271]

Answer:

Explanation:

The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.

Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.

Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.

The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.

Hello! I just need a little bit of help. I'm supposed to design an experiment on how reaction rates are determined and affected
alexandr1967 [171]
  1. Get 3 cups of water at the exact same temperature, using the thermometer to check.
  2. Label the cups as ‘whole’, ‘pieces’, and ‘crushed’
  3. Next, get something to dissolve, in this case, polident. Take one of the polident tablets and break it into 4 pieces, and set it aside.
  4. Take another polident tablet and this time put it into a different cup, and crush it. Set it aside.
  5. Keep the last tablet whole.
  6. Set up your stopwatch and drop the polident tablet that is whole in the cup labeled ‘whole’, starting the stopwatch at the same time.
  7. Watch the cup and see when the tablet is fully dissolved, then stop the stopwatch.
  8. Record the time in the table.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 for both the ‘pieces’ and ‘crushed’ tablets.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!
