You will learn in this course that organic compounds have covalent bonds with a significant amount of energy stored in them. This is why we burn fossil fuels to generate energy to heat our homes or drive our cars. Given this information, which of the compounds listed below would you expect to have the most energy is its carbon-carbon bond?

See explanation

Explanation:

This question is obviously supposed to be a multiple choice question but the options are missing.

However, the question intends to test the student's knowledge about combustion of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are mostly composed of hydrocarbons of different chain lengths.

The longer the chain length, the greater the energy released when the compound is burnt since there are more energy stored in its bonds.

Hence, the correct answer to this question will be the option that contains the greatest number of C-C and C-H bonds.

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
