How many bonds are there in the HCCH molecule?

There are five covalent bonds present in an ethyne molecule.


What are the equations of hexane benzene and acetylene in the Baeyer's test?

Hexane and benzene do not react in the ignition test. Only acetylene does. Acetylene has a triple bond if equivalent amount of KMnO4 is used. The equation is HCCH + KMnO4 -> HC (OH) = CH(OH).


Which organic compound is an alkine?

An alkine is a hydrocarbon compound with a carbon-to-carbon triple bond. The smallest possible alkine is saline, which as structural formula HCCH, with the carbon atoms triple bonded.


Label the single and multiple bonds in the compound HCCH?

There are two single bonds and one triple bond. The 2 single bonds are the H connecting with C. The triple bond is the 2 C connecting to each other.


Would acetylene reacts with bromine?

Yes. Acetylene is unsaturated with a triple bond joining the carbon atoms. The reaction is HCCH + 2Br2 -> Br2HCCHBr2 The bromine adds accross the triple bond, leaving a single carbon carbon bond.


What is the term for an unsaturated hydrocarbon with at least one double carbon-carbon bond?

That's one of the alkyne series: ethyn (HCCH), propyn (HCC-CH3), 1-butyn (CHC-CH2CH3) and 2-butyn (CH3-CC-CH3), etc.


How do you convert acetylene into ethanol?

sodium amide, then ethyl bromide --> 1-butyne. Add Hg/H2SO4 --> 2butanone


Is the carbon-carbon a double bond?

Yes, carbon can form either single or double bonds. Yes, and occasionally triple bonds too: eg. HCN.


What are tripple covalent bonds?

In a triple covalent bond there are three electron pairs. Examples are ethyne (acetylene) HCCH where the the triple bond is between the carbon atoms, and N2 where there is triple bond between the nitrogen atoms. A triple bond has sigma bond (electrons along the axis, and two pi bonds electrons around the axis. See link for a picture. Note wikipedia triple bond article INCORRECTLY says triple bonds common in phosphorus, so ignore that bit the rest is OK


How many sigma and pi bonds are in C2H2 in which the two carbons are in the center and each carbon has one hydrogen bonded to it?

3 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds. C2H2 (ethyne or acetylene) HCCH, has 2 sigma bonds between the carbon atoms and the terminal hydrogen atoms, these are single bonds. Between the carbon atoms there is one sigma bond and two pi bonds, making this a triple bond.


Are all liquids either an acid or base?

In the absolute sense of the words "acid" and "base," no. Pure water is neither. However, you can also have "relative acids" and "relative bases," which are solutions capable of donating protons and accepting protons, respectively.
