Answer:

Because<em> alkenes and alkynes</em> are defined as molecules with at least one double (in the case of alkenes) or triple (in the case of alkynes) bond between two carbon atoms, while alkanes have only single bonds between any pair of carbon atoms.

Explanation:

<em>Alkenes</em> and <em>alkynes</em> are unsaturated molecules, because they have, at least, two adjacent carbon atoms bonded together by either a doubler or a triple bond: - C = C - or - C ≡ C -.

Hence, at least two carbon atoms are needed to form those double or triple bonds, while alkanes have only single bonds. The example of alkane with only one carbon atom is methane: CH₄, which is the most simple alkane.

The most simple alkene is CH₂ = CH₂, and the most simple alkyne is CH≡CH.

As you see, the very definition of alkenes and alkynes forces that those molecules must have at least two carbon atoms.

There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore

devlian [24]

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore, which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

$\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\$
