Two carbon compound A and B have molecular formula C3H8 and C3H6 respectively. Which one of the two is most likely to show addition.

(a) The element is likely to be calcium.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions. Being unsaturated hydrocarbons, C3H6 and C2H2 undergo addition reactions.

Pure calcium oxide or lime, is an amorphous white solid, having a high melting point (2273K). When lime is added to water, a hissing sound is produced and a large amount...

'X' is ethanoic acid (an organic acid).  'X' --> CH3COOH CH3COOH + NaHCO3 -------> CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O Organic acid decomposes sodium bicarbonate and gives brisk effervescence of carbon dioxide gas.

Compound A (C3H8) is saturated and compound B (C3H6) is unsaturated hydrocarbon (with a double bond). As we know that addition reactions are a characteristic property of unsaturated hydrocarbons, thus the...

(C) carbon dioxide only

In homologous series, the consecutive members of the series differ from one another by -CH2- group. Methane (CH4) is the first member of homologous series of alkanes. Second member is ethane...

Unsaturated hydrocarbons (i.e., hydrocarbons having double or triple bonds) undergo addition reactions. i. C2H6 (Ethane) is a saturated hydrocarbon. It does not undergo addition reactions. ii. C3H8 (Propane) is a saturated hydrocarbon....

% composition of carbon in different oxides –  Element First oxide Second oxide carbon 42.9% 27.3% oxygen 100-42.9=57.1 100-27.3=72.7 In the first oxide, 57.1 part by mass of oxygen with 42.9 parts by mass of carbon  Therefore-1 part oxygen will combine...
