Why is acetylene rather than butane gas used for welding?

Acetylene is used for welding because it burns hotter than butane, allowing for faster and more efficient welding. Additionally, acetylene produces a reducing flame, which helps prevent oxidation of the metal being welded. This makes it particularly well-suited for welding ferrous metals like steel.


How many reducing ends are in a molecule of glycogen that contains 10000 residues with a branch every 10 residues?

The question cannot be answered unambigously based on the information given, since the number depends on how long the chains at each branching point are. If there is one glucose substituent per branching point, the no. of glucose molecules used for the substitution is found by iteration starting by 60000/12 = 5000, but 55000/12 = 4583. Hence the average is where the ends meet: That is about 4791 substituents (depending on how numbers are rounded up or down), which gives 4791 non-reducing ends + 1 from the "backbone = 4792. If there are two glucose substituents per branching point, the no. of branching points, and hence the no. of reducing ends will decrease to about a little less than half of this number because more glucose monomers are "consumed" in the branching chains and the backbone chain will in turn be shorter resulting in fewer possible branching points. However, each branching chain will only have one non-reducing end, and the backbone will stil have only one non-reducing end! :-) Nice question though - I can add that if there is only one large molecule containing all these 60000 glucose monomers there will be only one reducing end no matter how many branching points there are.


Why does organic chemistry is studied under a separate branch of chemistry?

Organic Chemistry is studied under a separate Branch because it is the chemistry of carbon which has a special property of catenation i.e. self linkage, thus alone carbon forms more than 60000 compound till now hence it is not easy to merge it in any other branch of chemistry.
