Answer:

C₃H₆ is an alkene

C₆H₁₂ is an alkene

C₈H₁₈ is an alkane

C₇H₁₂ is an alkyne

Explanation:

To determine which of the compound is alkane, alkene, or alkyne,we shall use the general formula of alkane, alkene, and alkyne. This is illustrated below:

General formula for alkane => CₙH₂ₙ₊₂

General formula for alkene => CₙH₂ₙ

General formula for alkyne => CₙH₂ₙ₋₂

For C₃H₆:

n = 3

Alkane => CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ => C₃H₂₍₃₎₊₂ => C₃H₈

Alkene => CₙH₂ₙ => C₃H₂₍₃₎ => C₃H₆

Alkyne => CₙH₂ₙ₋₂ => C₃H₂₍₃₎₋₂ => C₃H₄

Thus, C₃H₆ is an alkene

For C₆H₁₂:

n = 6

Alkane => CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ => C₆H₂₍₆₎₊₂ =>C₆H₁₄

Alkene => CₙH₂ₙ => C₆H₂₍₆₎ => C₆H₁₂

Alkyne => CₙH₂ₙ₋₂ => C₆H₂₍₆₎₋₂ => C₆H₁₀

Thus, C₆H₁₂ is an alkene

For C₈H₁₈:

n = 8

Alkane => CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ => C₈H₂₍₈₎₊₂ => C₈H₁₈

Alkene => CₙH₂ₙ => C₈H₂₍₈₎ => C₈H₁₆

Alkyne => CₙH₂ₙ₋₂ => C₈H₂₍₈₎₋₂ => C₈H₁₄

Thus, C₈H₁₈ is an alkane.

For C₇H₁₂:

n = 7

Alkane => CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ => C₇H₂₍₇₎₊₂ => C₇H₁₆

Alkene => CₙH₂ₙ => C₇H₂₍₇₎ => C₇H₁₄

Alkyne => CₙH₂ₙ₋₂ => C₇H₂₍₇₎₋₂ => C₇H₁₂

Thus, C₇H₁₂ is an alkyne.

SUMMARY:

C₃H₆ is an alkene

C₆H₁₂ is an alkene

C₈H₁₈ is an alkane

C₇H₁₂ is an alkyne

An element has an atomic number of 30. How many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element? A. 30 protons, 30 el
Minchanka [31]
Atomic number shows the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. If the atomic number is 30, then it has 30 protons. The question says it is neutral, so it must have the same amount of protons and electrons.

A is the correct answer based on this.

If the atmospheric pressure is 0.975 atm what is the pressure of the enclosed gas
Nuetrik [128]
Missing in your question:
Picture (1)
when its an open- tube manometer and the h = 52 cm. 
when the pressure of the atmosphere is equal the pressure of the gas plus the pressure from the mercury column 52 Cm so, we can get the pressure of the gas from this formula:
P(atm) = P(gas) + height (Hg)
∴P(gas) = P(atm) - height (Hg)
              = 0.975 - (520/760) 
              = 0.29 atm
Note: I have divided 520 mm Hg by 760 to convert it to atm
Picture (2)
The pressure of the gas is the pressure experts by the column of mercury and when we have the Height (Hg)= 67mm 
So the pressure of the gas =P(atm) + Height (Hg)
                                             =  0.975 + (67/ 760) = 1.06 atm
Picture (3) 
As the tube is closed SO here the pressure of the gas is equal the height of the mercury column, and when we have the height (Hg) = 103 mm. so, we can get the P(gas) from this formula:
P(gas) = Height(Hg)
           = (103/760) = 0.136 atm
