Answer:
<span>Carbon readily forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.
Explanation:
As we know approximately more than 95 % compounds, either isolated, discovered or synthesized belongs to organic compounds containing carbon atoms.
This great diversity of organic compounds is due to following facts.
1) Catenation:
Carbon has a peculiar behavior of self linkage. This self linkage of one carbon with another is called as catenation. In this way carbon can form a long chain of carbon atom. A branching can also take place when one carbon is bonded further to three of four carbon atoms.
2) Isomerism:
Secondly the carbon containing compounds show isomerism. In which molecular formula is same but structural formula is different. For example molecular formula C</span>₅H₁₂ can make following compounds,
a) n-Pentane
b) 2-Methylbutane
c) 2,2-Dimethylpropane
3) Multiple Bonds:
Carbon can form multiple bonds i.e double bond like in alkenes and triple bonds like in alkyne.
Due to these factors carbon gets very high number of opportunities to form large number of compounds.
Answer:
XL(toluene) = 0.77
XL(benzene) = 0.23
Explanation: see attachment
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ---> 16CO₂ + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of octane to CO₂ is 2:16
number of C₈H₁₈ moles reacted - 191.6 g / 114 g/mol = 1.68 mol
when 2 mol of octane reacts it forms 16 mol of CO₂
therefore when 1.68 mol of octane reacts - it forms 16/2 x 1.68 = 13.45 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles formed - 13.45 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ formed - 13.45 mol x 44 g/mol = 591.8 g
mass of CO₂ formed is 591.8 g
A physical property is what a substance is like; it's directly observable. On the other hand, a chemical property is how a substance behaves; its reactivity.
Examples of a physical property are: color, texture, boiling point, freezing point, and melting point.
Examples of a chemical property are: flammability, combustion, and formation of a precipitate.
