Anestetic [448]2 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.

The addition of NaOH to water would result in which of the following?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

A decrease in [H3O+] and an increase in pH (option a)

Explanation:

Equilibrium of water is shown in this equation

2H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻

When you add NaOH, you are modifying [OH⁻]

NaOH  →   Na⁺  +  OH⁻

In equilibrium of water, the [OH⁻] increases

2H₂O   ⇄   ↓  H₃O⁺   +   OH⁻  ↑

As the [OH⁻] increases, by Le Chatellier, the equilibrium tends to decrease [H₃O⁺].

If the [OH⁻] is higher, pH  is also high so the solution of water and sodium hydroxide would be totally basic.

Answer/Explanation:

A theory has lots of scientific evidence to back it up. We know this to be true based on lots of different diseases and studies of their spread.

A hypothesis is more of a starting point - an educated guess based on limited evidence. It requires further testing before becoming a theory.

A law is something that can be generalized to lots of contexts, and is universal. Such as the law of thermodynamics.
