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

A piece of copper alloy with a mass of 85.0 g is heated from 30. °C to 45 °C. In the process, it absorbs 523 J of energy as heat
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

410.196 J/[kg*°C].

Explanation:

1) the equation of the energy is: E=c*m*(t₂-t₁), where E - energy (523 J), c - unknown specific heat of copper, m - mass of this copper [kg], t₂ - the final temperature, t₁ - initial temerature;

2) the specific heat of copper is:

c=\frac{E}{m*(t_2-t_1)}; \ => \ c=\frac{523}{0.085*(45-30)}=\frac{523}{1.275}=410.196[\frac{J}{kg*C}].
