Gasoline is refined petroleum used in engines as a fuel. It contains octane that can be converted to isooctane by adding catalysts like platinum and palladium.
<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>
Catalysts are substances that raise the reaction rate by decreasing the activation energy but do not get consumed themselves in a reaction.
Platinum and palladium metals can be used as a catalyst to convert the octane of the gasoline into isooctane as they are oxidation catalyst that converts the fuel components into water and carbon dioxide.
Therefore, platinum and palladium are used as catalysts in converting octane.

Answer:
A group of dissimilar elements with a net charge remaining is called a polyatomic ion.
Explanation:
Answer:
When two single single bonds separated by a double bond (e.g C=C-C=C or C=C-C=O in the case of 2-cyclohexenone), the effect of resonance among those there bonds will be observed.
Explanation:
Since the Oxygen atom has higher electronegativity, it will cause the electrons in the resonance bonds 'flow' toward the Oxygen atom, so that the C=C will 'lose' some electron. The signal read for that bond will be different from other alkene structure.
Attachment is the resonance structure of 2-cyclohexene.
Answer:
Explanation:
M(s) → M (g ) + 20.1 kJ --- ( 1 )
X₂ ( g ) → 2X (g ) + 327.3 kJ ---- ( 2 )
M( s) + 2 X₂(g) → M X₄ (g ) - 98.7 kJ ----- ( 3 )
( 3 ) - 2 x ( 2 ) - ( 1 )
M( s) + 2 X₂(g) - 2 X₂ ( g ) - M(s) → M X₄ (g ) - 98.7 kJ - 2 [ 2X (g ) + 327.3 kJ ] - M (g ) - 20.1 kJ
0 = M X₄ (g ) - 4 X (g ) - M (g ) - 773.4 kJ
4 X (g ) + M (g ) = M X₄ (g ) - 773.4kJ
heat of formation of M X₄ (g ) is - 773.4 kJ
Bond energy of one M - X bond = 773.4 / 4 = 193.4 kJ / mole
