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.

The compound methyl butanoate smells like apples. Its percent composition is 58.8% C, 9.9% H, and 31.4% O. What’s the empirical
blsea [12.9K]
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:

58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C

9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H

31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O

Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:

4.9/1.96 = 2.5

9.9/1.96 = 6

1.96/1.96 = 1

Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.

So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
