A mixture of 1-heptyne, 2-heptyne, and 3-heptyne was hydrogenated in the presence of a palladium catalyst until hydrogen uptake ceased. How many seven-carbon hydrocarbons were produced

four

Explanation:

Recall that the hydrogenation of 1-heptyne, 2-heptyne, and 3-heptyne  is an addition reaction. The hydrogen is added across the triple bond in the presence of palladium serving as the catalyst.

Note that 1-heptyne and 2-heptyne do not exist as geometric isomers hence they yield one corresponding hydrocarbon each. However, 3-heptyne exhibits geometric isomerism. As a result of this, 3-heptyne yields cis and trans products making a total of four seven-carbon hydrocarbons produced.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
