Anestetic [448]3 years ago

Answer:

Tests for unsaturation involves addition across the multiple bonds in the unsaturated compound.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, we define an unsaturated compound as any compound that contains a double or triple bond. These multiple bonds are also known as pi bonds.

There are two major tests for unsaturation which shall both be discussed here.

The first test for unsaturation is by the use of bromine water. The unknown sample is passed through a solution of bromine water which normally appears reddish brown. The bromine water becomes decolorized due to addition of bromine across the multiple bond. This is a standard test for unsaturation.

Secondly, unsaturated compounds decoulourize a solution of potassium permanganate when passed through it. This alone can not be used as a distinctive test for unsaturation.

Propenoic acid will give a positive test to the both reagents showing that it contains multiple bonds, in this particular instance, a double bond.

.One ballon is filled with Hydrogen (H2) gas, the other balloon is filled with methane (CH4). Both balloons have the same temper
Neko [114]

Answer:

C. The balloon with CH4 has the same moles of gas molecules as the balloon with H2

Explanation:

Based on combined gas law, gases under the same pressure, temperature and volume have the same number of moles. With this information we can say the rigth statement is:

<h3>C. The balloon with CH4 has the same moles of gas molecules as the balloon with H2</h3>

Define and then describe the difference between a polar covalent bond, nonpolar covalent bond and ionic bond.
Romashka [77]
Polar covalent bond-  a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.

Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.

Ionic bonds- have such  large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.
