Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds which comprises of only carbon and hydrogen atom. According to this definition, there are four types of hydrocarbons. They are- alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic. In saturated hydrocarbons each carbon is bonded with four single covalent bonds.

- Complete and balance the following combustion reactions. Assume that each hydrocarbon is converted completely to carbon dioxide and water. (a) Propane + O2 (b) Octane + O2 (c) Cyclohexane + O2 (d) 2-Methylpentane + O2arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the combustion of isooctane, C8H18, a component of gasoline.arrow_forwardChemistry A molecular compound has the formula, C6H10. Enter the name of the compound. -Not cyclohexane.arrow_forward
- A chemist, during the course of an analysis, runs across a chemical composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the proportion 1:2:1 and having a six-sided molecular shape. It is probably (a) a pentose, (b) an amino acid, (c) a fatty acid, (d) a monosaccharide, (e) a nucleic acid.arrow_forwardC7H12 (l) + ? O2(g) → 7 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)arrow_forwardWrite the structural formulas and carbon skeleton formulas for the three isomers of C5H12 (pentane)?arrow_forward
- Draw the Lewis Structures for C(CH3)3.arrow_forwardDistinguish between High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) by giving ONE (1) example each.arrow_forwardWhat is the name, molecular and structural formula for CH3(Ch2)4ch(oh)ch3arrow_forward
- Name 1. Provide the name for the following molecules. OH (a) (b) (c) OH OCH3 (d) OH HO (f) Br но. Br Brarrow_forwardWrite a generic formula for each of the families of organic compounds- alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, and ketones?arrow_forwardThe organic molecules shown here are derivatives of benzene in which six-membered rings are “fused” at the edges of the hexagons. (a) Determine the empirical formula of benzene and of these three compounds. (b) Suppose you are given a sample of one of the compounds. Could combustion analysis be used to determine unambiguously which of the three it is? (c) Naphthalene, the active ingredient in mothballs, is a white solid. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of naphthalene to CO2(g) and H2O(g). (d) Using the Lewis structure for naphthalene and the average bond enthalpies in Table 8.4, estimate the heat of combustion of naphthalene in kJ/mol. (e) Would you expect naphthalene, anthracene, and tetracene to have multiple resonance structures? If so, draw the additional resonance structures for naphthalene. (f) Benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene are colorless, but tetracene is orange. What does this imply…arrow_forward
