Answer: $C_2H_2$

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is $C_nH_{2n+2}$ and are called as alkanes.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is $C_nH_{2n}$ and $C_nH_{2n-2}$ respectively.

$C_4H_8$ and $C_2H_4$ are alkenes.

$C_4H_{10}$ is an alkane.

Thus $C_2H_2$ with general formula $C_nH_{2n-2}$ is an alkyne.

The answer is C2H2 because an alkyne compound consists of a series of unsaturated hydrocarbons with a triple bond.

The density of a 20.3 m ch3oh (methanol) solution is 0.858 g/ml. what is the molality of this solution? h2o is the solvent.

aliina [53]

The difference of molarity and molality is in the units:

Molarity is expressed in mol solute / L solution;

<span> while Molality is expressed in mol solute / kg solvent</span>

Since no other data is given, let us assume that the contribution of methanol on the total volume is negligible. So that,

Molality = (20.3 mol / L) (1 L / 0.858 kg)

Molality = 23.66 m

<span>The closest answer is letter C. 23.7 m</span>
