Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the combustion reaction of cyclohexane
Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbon combustion reaction:
The hydrocarbon compound reacts with sufficient oxygen on heating to form carbon dioxide and water as product is known as hydrocarbon combustion reaction. It is an exothermic reaction. The hydrocarbon compounds are generally organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen element. The compounds such as
The general equation is given as,
Where,
- x represents the number of carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon
- y represents the number of carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon
- N represents the number of oxygen atoms requires in the hydrocarbon combustion reaction.
Chemical equation:
In chemical equation, the substance reacts (reactant) to give products. The number of atoms present in reactant side should be equal to the number of atom present in the product side.
b.
Interpretation
The balanced equation for the combustion of cyclopentane

For each that could, draw structural formulas, and name both the cis- and the trans- isomers. a. c. b. d.arrow_forward
- What is the difference in bonding and in the general molecular formula between an alkene and an alkane with the same number of carbon atoms?arrow_forwardSummarize the nomenclature rules for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds. Correct the following false statements regarding nomenclature of hydrocarbons. a. The root name for a hydrocarbon is based on the shortest continuous chain of carbon atoms. b. The suffix used to name all hydrocarbons is -ane. c. Substituent groups are numbered so as to give the largest numbers possible. d. No number is required to indicate the positions of double or triple bonds in alkenes and alkynes. e. Substituent groups get the lowest number possible in alkenes and alkynes. f. The ortho- term in aromatic hydrocarbons indicates the presence of two substituent groups bonded to carbon- 1 and carbon-3 in benzene.arrow_forward
