The formula for C2H6 is CH3-CH3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given formula C2H6 is the molecular formula depicting the integral number of atoms of combining elements. From this formula, it can confirmed that 2 atoms of carbon has combined with 6 atoms of hydrogen, but the arrangement of these atoms and the bonding between them is unclear from the given formula.

In order to determine the bonding occurring between elements and how the atoms are arranged or bonded with each other, we use structural formula representation. It is known that a single carbon atom that should have four bonds to attain the stable state and each hydrogen atom can share only one electron.

So the structural formula of C2H6 can be written as CH3-CH3. This indicates that three hydrogen atoms will be bonded with a single carbon atom leading to formation of single bond between two carbon atoms surrounded by three hydrogen atoms on either sides of carbon atoms. This material is termed as ethane and it falls in alkalies group of organic compounds.

Answer:

The general Formula given for alkanes is CnH2n+2 and hence it shows C_2 H_6 is the second alkane and is named ethane.

Explanation:

Formula here shows two molecules of CH_3 are joined that is the formula for Ethane becomes CH_3-CH_3.

If we break the name ethane it gives two divisions eth and ane the former means to while the latter represents the alkane family. Hence the formula represents two carbons in alkane family which makes it C_2H_6.

Adhesion describes water's attraction to _____. other water molecules other substances hydrogen molecules acids and bases
Yuliya22 [10]
Adhesion describes water's attraction to other substances. 

The term Adhesion refers to the tendency of particles or surfaces which are not similar to cling to one another. So basically, the adhesion occurs in water when the water is attracted or cling to other substance not similar to water.

A gold ingot weighs 5.50 ibs. If the density of gold is 19.31 g/cm^3, and the length and width of the ingot are 12.0 cm and 3.00
Aliun [14]

Answer:

A) 3.59 cm

Explanation:

Given that :-

The density of the gold ingot = 19.31\ g/cm^3

Given that:- Mass = 5.50 lbs

Also, considering the conversion of lbs to g as shown below:-

1 lb = 453.592 g

Thus,

Mass = 5.50\times 453.592\ g = 2494.756 g

The volume = Length*Breadth*Height

Given that:- Length = 12.0 cm , Breadth = 3.00 cm

Considering the expression for density as:-

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

19.31=\frac{2494.756}{12.0\times 3.00\times Height}

Solving for height, we get that:-

Height=3.59 cm

consideras util conocer las propiedades extensivas e intensivas de los insumos utilizados para la elaboración de producto ¿por q
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No.

Las propiedades físicas de los materiales y sistemas a menudo se pueden clasificar como intensivas o extensivas, según cómo cambia la propiedad cuando cambia el tamaño (o extensión) del sistema. Según la IUPAC, una cantidad intensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es independiente del tamaño del sistema, mientras que una cantidad extensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es aditiva para los subsistemas. Esto refleja las ideas matemáticas correspondientes de media y medida, respectivamente.

Una propiedad intensiva es una propiedad a granel, lo que significa que es una propiedad física local de un sistema que no depende del tamaño del sistema o de la cantidad de material en el sistema. Los ejemplos de propiedades intensivas incluyen temperatura, T; índice de refracción, n; densidad, ρ; y dureza de un objeto.

Por el contrario, propiedades extensivas como la masa, el volumen y la entropía de los sistemas son aditivas para los subsistemas porque aumentan y disminuyen a medida que crecen y se reducen, respectivamente.  

Estas dos categorías no son exhaustivas, ya que algunas propiedades, físicas no son exclusivamente intensivas ni extensivas. Por ejemplo, la impedancia eléctrica de dos subsistemas es aditiva cuando, y solo cuando, se combinan en serie; mientras que si se combinan en paralelo, la impedancia resultante es menor que la de cualquiera de los subsistemas.

¡Espero haberte ayudado!  :)

Acetone major species present when dissolved in water
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: acetone molecule ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)


Explanation:


1) Acetone is CH₃-CO-CH₃


2) That is a molecule (build up of covalent bonds).


3) When dissolved, covalent bonded compounds remain as separate molecules, then it is said that the major species present in the solution is the molecule. The molecules of acetone are surrounded (sovated) by the molecules of water.


This as opposed to the case of ionic compounds that ionize. When a compound as NaCl dissolves in water, it ionizes completely, so the major speceies are not NaCl formulas, but the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, not molecules.


That leads to the answer: the major species present when acetone is dissolved in water is the molecules of acetone (you do not need to state the fact that the molecules of water are part of the solution, because that is not the target of the question).

The beta oxidation pathway degrades activated fatty acids (acyl-CoA) to acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle. Add
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The correct statements are given below

Explanation:

b Enoyl CoA isomerase an enzyme that converts cis double bonds to trans double bonds in fatty acid metabolism,bypasses a step that reduces Q,resulting in the higher ATP yield.

c Even chain fatty acids are oxidized to acetyl CoA in the beta oxidation pathway.

f The final round of beta oxidation foe a 13 carbon saturated fatty acid yields acetyl CoA and propionyl CoA a three carbon fragment.
