Answer: Gaseous

Explanation: Straight Chain hydrocarbon having three carbon atoms is known as Propane. It molecular formula is

CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}

Inter molecular forces of attraction that is London Dispersion Forces existing between its molecules are weaker that is why the propane is gaseous in nature at room temperature.

It is also used in LPG. Boiling Point of propane is -42° C.

<span>The straight-chain hydrocarbon containing three carbon atoms is propane. It's molecular formula is C3H8.

Following is the structure of propane
CH3-CH2-CH3

Boiling point of propane is -42 oC, this suggest that propane is gas at room temperature. </span>

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

East

Explanation:

Given Newton's third law of motion; "Action and reaction are equal and opposite", when a student jumps off a sled toward the west after it stops at the bottom of an icy hill, the sled will move in the East direction.

This is because, the force exerted on the sled is a reaction force and is opposite in direction to the force that thrusts the boy westward though equal in magnitude with the former.

What is the correct sequence of coefficients when this equation is balanced? ___cs2(l) + ___o2(g) → ___co2(g) + ___so2(g)?

iris [78.8K]

Answer: the sequence is 1, 3, 1, 2.

Explanation:

1) Given equation: CS₂(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + SO₂(g)

2) To balance:

i) initially C is balanced: 1 atom in the left side, and 1 atom in the right sides

ii) Add coefficient 2 in front of SO₂ to have 2 atoms in each side.

That leads to: CS₂(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g)

iii) Count the O atoms; there are 2 atoms in the left, and 6 atoms in the right side. So, add a coefficient 3 in front of O₂ (in the left) and you get:

CS₂(l) + 3O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g)

4) You can verigy that now the equation is balanced:

C: 1 in the left, and 1 in the right

S: 2 in the left, and 2 in the right

O: 6 in the left, and 6 in the right.

5) So, the sequence is 1, 3, 1, 2.

Remember, when the none coefficient is shown it is because it is 1.

What are the effects of climate change? Answer this question integrating other topics of science.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

»Climatic change leads to malnutrition.

e.g when its cold season, osmoregulation decreases and rate of metabolism declines.

This is because the enzymes lack that optimum temperature for their catalytic activity to take place hence improper digestion.

»Leads to promotion of predation in ecosystem.

such as reptiles e.g snakes, lizards get away from shelters on cold days since they are cold blooded, hence their predators such as animals, birds increase.

The precautions that must be taken when carrying out experiments with hydrogen

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Never smoke near a place where hydrogen is generated or being used. Remove all possible sources of flame and sparks. Hydrogen should only be generated and used in a well ventilated out door area. Precautions must be taken to remove all possibilities of fire or explosion.
