Some hydrocarbons are regarded as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.

<h3>What are hydrocarbons?</h3>

Hydrocarbons are any organic compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon in its structure.

Hydrocarbons can be grouped into the following based on whether they contain single or double bonds:

  1. Saturated hydrocarbons - contain only single bonds e.g. alkanes
  2. Unsaturated hydrocarbons - contain double and triple bonds e.g. alkenes

Therefore, it can be said that some hydrocarbons are regarded as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.

Answer:

Al2(SO4)3 and Mg(OH)2

Explanation:

1. Al has a charge of 3-, and SO4 of 2-

when you cross multiply the charges you get

Al2 and (SO4)3

*the reason theres a bracket around the sulfate ion is that the charge 3 is not for oxygen only, but the entire sulphate ion*

Hence, Al2(SO4)3

2. Mg has a charge of 2- and OH of 1-

again cross multiply

Mg (you dont need to add the 1) and (OH)2

again, the bracket around OH means the charge appiles to Oxygen AND hydrogen

hence, Mg(OH)2

The voltaic cell produces electric current from a spontaneous chemical reaction, but electrolytic reactions are not spontaneous.
scZoUnD [109]
I believe the correct answer is true. Voltaic cells produces current from spontaneous reactions and is also known as galvanic cell. For electrolytic cells the reactions are not spontaneous and requires input of current for the reaction to occur.
