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.

How many molecules are in 2.38g of SO2
Murrr4er [49]

2.63 x 10^22 molecules of SO2.

To find this, start with what you know.

2.38g of SO2.

You need to first convert this into Moles since you cannot directly convert grams into molecules. In order to convert grams to moles, you need to find the molecular mass of SO2 - 64.066.

This is because Sulfur has the mass of 32.066 and Oxygen has a mass of 16, but since there are two Oxygen atoms, it's going to be 32.

Your equation should currently appear as so:

2.38g of SO2 = 1 Mole of SO2 / 64.066

Now, you need to convert this to molecules.

Whenever you are searching for molecules without a given amount, you always use Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23

Now, your equation should appear as so:

2.38g SO2 = 1 Mole of SO2 / 64.066 next to a new fraction which is 6.02 x 10^23 / 1 Mole of SO2

Now, multiply across (2.38 x 1 x 6.02 x 10^23). When using Avogadro's number, don't forget to place parenthesis around it.

Then, divide that number by the bottom: 64.066.

Thus, your final answer is that there is 2.63 x 10^22 molecules of SO2.

Don't forget your units!

Hope this helps!
