Break open your cyclohexane ring to make n-hexane (C6H14). (You will need two extra hydrogen atoms to the terminal carbon atoms to complete your model). Is hexane flexible or rigid? The melting point of cyclohexane is 6o C whereas the melting point of hexane is -94o C. Can you suggest a reason for this based on the structures you have made?
Ethanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The combustion of one mole of ethanol releases 326.7 kcal of energy. The combustion of one mole of 2-methylheptane, C8H18, releases 1.306 × 10³ kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 405 grams of 2- methylheptane? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 405 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 405 grams of 2-methylheptane? more less the same amount Retry Entire Group 9 more group attempts remaining
