Q

Each member of a homologous series differs from the next by….

A

CH2

19
Q

Why do alkenes usually to produce a smokier flame?

A

They tend to undergo incomplete combustion due to a higher carbon to hyrdogen ratio

Why does Carboxylic Acid produce weakly acidic solutions in Water?

A

Carboxylic Acid partially ionise in water

36
