Chemistry
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. Alternating single and double bonds

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons i.e. hydrogen and carbon containing compounds, are grouped into two namely: aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons contains straight or branched chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms in their structure e.g. alkanes, alkenes etc.

On the other hand, aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic hydrocarbons containing one or more cyclic rings. The benzene ring is the basis of all aromatic hydrocarbons and one characteristics of benzene is that it possesses an alternating single (-) and double bonds (=) in their structure.

Since benzene is a building constituent of aromatic hydrocarbons, an "alternating single and double bond" is a characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons.

The molar mass of argon is 40 g/mol. what is the molar mass of a gas if it effuses at 0.91 times the speed of argon gas?
Gemiola [76]
To determine the molar mass of the unknown gas, we use Graham's Law of Effusion where it relates the effusion rates of two gases with their molar masses. It is expressed as r1/r2 = √M2/M1. We calculate as follows:
Let 1 = argon gas      2 = unknown gas
r2 = 0.91r1r1/r2 = 1/0.91
1/0.91 = √M2/M1 = √M2/40M2 = 48.30 g/mol
