Testbank, question 043 the following sequence of reactions transforms acetylene into a compound with an altered carbon skeleton (compound 1), and from that into a compound in which the functional group has been changed (compound 2). identify compounds 1 and 2.

b.final

geosphere and hydrosphere.

this is because the geosphere has to do with geological events, while the hydrosphere controls all water on earth.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
