Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Alkanes are chains of carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms. TRUE.
Alkanes are hydrocarbons, that is, they are organic compounds formed only by carbon and hydrogen. In alkanes, carbon atoms are bonded to each other through single covalent bonds and they are also bonded to hydrogen atoms through the same type of bonds. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2.
ΔΗ= -115.6 kJ/mol
H2 has a Mr of 2, so as mol=mass/mr we can work out that there are 4 moles of H reacting
Therefore we multiply -115.6 by 4 = -462.4
The shape of the molecule is trigonal planar.
For example, H₂O:
