What makes a hydrocarbon saturated?

Answer:

Explanation:

It's easier to answer what makes it unsaturated.

H - C ≡ C - H

This is Acetylene. It has three shared bonds between the two carbons. That many bonds makes it unsaturated.

     H   H

H - C - C - H

     H   H

Draw lines from 1 H on top to the Carbon underneath Do the same with the other hydrogen. Make the two Hydrogens on the bottom do the same thing.

The point is that Carbon has 4 bonds. 1 bond goes to the other Carbon. The other 3 take on Hydrogen. That molecule is saturated: nothing can be added in its natural state.

Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms. ... They are called saturated because each carbon atom is bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible. In other words, the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen.

how much energy would it take to heat a section of the copper tubing that weights about 660.0 gram, from 12.93 degree Celsius to
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

                      Q  =  2647 J

Explanation:

                    Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required by one Kg of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 °C.

In thermodynamics the equation used is as follow,

                                                 Q  =  m Cp ΔT

Where;

           Q  =  Heat  =  ?

           m  =  mass  =  660 g

           Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  0.3850 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

           ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  23.35 °C - 12.93 °C  =  10.42 °C

Putting values in eq. 1,

                            Q  =  660 g × 0.3850 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹ ×  10.42 °C

                            Q  =  2647 J

In this reaction, the covalent bonds in the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen are broken.
Westkost [7]

Answer: Endothermic

Explanation:

Bond-breaking is an endothermic process. Energy is released when new bonds form. Bond-making is an exothermic process. Whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic depends on the difference between the energy needed to break bonds and the energy released when new bonds form.
