Explanation / Answer

1).A. C2H4 is a saturated compound. ===> False

B. There are a number of structures with the formula C6H14 ===> True

C. In hydrocarbons C atoms have 4 covalent bonds.===> True

D. water molecules are polar ===> True

E. A mole of CH4 and a mole of CO2 have different numbers of molecules ===> False

F. Alkane molecules can react together to form polymers ===> False

G. Generally ionic compounds have higher melting temperatures than covalent compounds. ===> True

H. All chemical reactions are exothermic.===> False

I. When liquid water freezes heat is absorbed. ===> False

J. All metals have the same specific heat ===> Fasle

2) A. How many grams are in 2.75moles of C12H22O11 ===> mass = moles X molar mass = 2.75 X 342 ==> 940.5 grams.

B. How many moles are in 327 grams of K2SO4 ===> moles = mass/ molar mass ==> 327/174 = 1.88 moles.

3) Considering the reaction:

                 2Fe2O3 + 3C   4Fe + 3CO2

   A. How many moles of C are needed to react with 6.00 moles of Fe2O3 ===> 2 moles of Fe2O3 nedds 3 moles of C then 6 Fe2O3 moles of needs 9 moles of C.

6. Explain why each of the following does not exist:

     A. CH2   B. C8H20   C. C3H2   D. CCl5   E. KCl3

A.CH2 = Carbon is a teravalent atom, but here it is bonded to two hydrogens only.

B. C8H20 = It is not an alkane(CnH2n+2),alkene(cnH2n) or alkyne(cnH2n-2)

C.C3H2 = Carbon is a teravalent atom, but here it is bonded to two hydrogens only.

D. CCl5 = Carbon is a teravalent atom, but here it is bonded to Five Chlorine atoms.

E. KCl3 = K is a monovalent atom.
