What is a characteristic of straight chained alkanes? ●They have one or more rings of carbon atoms.
●They have carbon atoms that are double-bonded to other carbon atoms. ● They have more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon. ●They have carbons bonded in a single row from one end of the molecule to the other end of the molecule.

● They have more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other

Explanation:

They have carbons bonded in a single row from one end of the molecule to the other end of the molecule. ... The straight-chain alkane has two more hydrogen atoms than the cycloalkane

D. They have carbons bonded in a single row from one end of the molecule to the other end of the molecule.

Explanation:

I got it wrong when I chose C - They have more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon. So yeah p.s UNUS ANNUS

b.final

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
