Propenoic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. Describe how you could show

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
4 0

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.

a diatomic element has six bonding electrons, six non-bonding electrons, and 2 anti-bonding electrons. what is the bond order? g
Deffense [45]

The bond order of a diatomic element with  six bonding electrons, six non-bonding electrons, and 2 anti-bonding electrons is 2 whose formula is( bonding electrons-anti bonding electrons)/2.

<h3>What is an element?</h3>

An element  is defined as a substance which cannot be broken down further into any other substance. Each element is made up of its own type of atom. Due to this reason all elements are different from one another.

Elements can be classified as metals and non-metals. Metals are shiny and conduct electricity and are all solids at room temperature except mercury. Non-metals do not conduct electricity and are mostly gases at room temperature except carbon and sulfur.

The number of protons in the nucleus is the defining property of an element and is related to the atomic number.All atoms with same atomic number are atoms of same element.

What was the oxygen crisis
salantis [7]
The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), sometimes also called the Great Oxygenation Event, Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust,[2] or Oxygen Revolution, was a time period when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in oxygen, approximately 2.4 billion years ago (2.4 Ga) to 2.1–2.0 Ga during the Paleoproterozoic era.[3] Geological, isotopic, and chemical evidence suggests that biologically produced molecular oxygen (dioxygen, O2) started to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere and changed Earth's atmosphere from a weakly reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere,[4] causing many existing species on Earth to die out.[5] The cyanobacteria producing the oxygen caused the event which enabled the subsequent development of multicellular forms.

A scientist measures out equal volumes and concentrations of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions. When mixed, these
olasank [31]

Answer:

Neutral solution is formed.

Explanation:

When the hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide which is a strong base are combined together, it produces sodium chloride which is a salt and water. This solution is known as Neutral solution because the solution do not have the characteristics or properties of either an acid or a base. If the concentration of one of the reactant is higher as compared to another reactant so the product has the characteristics of that reactant.
