Chapter 11, Problem 11.73P

As stated in Section 11-9, the wax found in apple skins is an unbranched alkane with the molecular formula C^H^. Explain how the presence of this alkane in apple skins prevents the loss of moisture from within the apple.

Gasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane. Ethanol burns in air to form CO 2 and H 2O, and, like the combustion of alkanes, this reaction also releases a great deal of energy. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.
1) Which one has isomers? methanoic acid, methane, ethene, or alcohols 2) Which of these terms describe an organic molecule with the most possible hydrogen bonds on its main chain? triple-bonded, terminal, cyclical, or saturated 3) An organic molecule consists of a chain of 8 carbons, with a double bond in the middle and an -OH group on one end. A correct name for this molecule would be Oct-4-anol, Octanol, Oct-4-enol, or Oct-4-en-1-ol 4) Which of these are not considered a functional group -OH, -CH3, -Cl or -H 5) A reaction is called an acid-catalyzed reaction. What is the name of the strong acid? oxyic acid, sulfuric acid, carbonic acid, or Ammonia acid In bold were my answers to the questions wanted to know if I have them correct. Thx :)
