Answer:
Reaction is already balanced
Explanation:
The equation in reaction 1 is given as;
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 --> CO2 + H2O + Na+ + CH3COO-
The reaction is already balanced. This is because the umber of atoms of elements in the reactant is equal to that of the products
Carbon
Reactant = 2 + 1 = 3
Product = 2 + 2 = 3
Hydrogen
Reactant = 3 + 1 + 1 = 5
Product = 2 + 3 = 5
Oxygen
Reactant = 2 + 3 = 5
Product = 2 +1 + 2 = 5
Sodium
Reactant = 1
Product = 1
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.
