Best Answer

-one is the suffix of ketones and eth- stands for two carbon atoms. However it is not possible to have a ketone with two carbon atoms and hence there is no compound by the name ethanone.

The smallest ketone is propanone, CH3-CO-CH3

Ethylene is composed of carbon and hydrogen. It's molecular formula is C2H4. In the Lewis dot structure, the two carbons (C) are connected with a double bond, and there are two hydrogens (H) attached to each C, so it looks like this: H2C=CH2

How many grams of ethylene as needed to react with 0.0126 mole of water?

To determine the grams of ethylene needed to react with 0.0126 mole of water, you need to use the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between ethylene and water. Once you have the balanced equation, use the molar ratio between ethylene and water to convert moles of water to moles of ethylene. Then, use the molar mass of ethylene to convert moles of ethylene to grams of ethylene.
