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

Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) Ca:H:C:O = 1:2:2 ___ Lithium sulfide (Li:2s) Li:S = 2:__
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: The ratio of atoms in calcium bicarbonate ; Ca : H : C : O = 1:2:2:6.

The ratio of atoms in lithium sulfide; Li : S = 2 : 1

Explanation:

In calcium bicarbonate:Ca(HCO_3)_2

In a molecular formula of calcium carbonate there are:

Number of Calcium atoms = 1

Number of Hydrogen atom = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Carbon atoms = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Oxygen atoms = 3 × 2 = 6

So, Ca : H : C : O = 1 : 2 : 2 : 6

In lithium sulfide :Li_2S

In a molecular formula of lithium sulfide there are:

Number of Lithium atoms =  1 × 2 = 2

Number of Sulfur atoms = 1

So, the Li : S = 2 : 1

Given the following equation: 2K + Cl2 -> 2KCl How many grams of KCl is produced from 4.00 g of K and excess Cl2?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

  Complete equation of the reaction:

              2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

        Number of moles of K =  \frac{4}{39} = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

   2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

 Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

   Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g
