Answer:
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 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 and
respectively.
and
are alkenes.
is an alkane.
Thus with general formula
is an alkyne.

<h3>Explanation</h3>There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell. Which one is the anode?
The lithium atom used to have no oxygen atoms when it was on the reactant side. It gains two oxygen atoms after the reaction. It has gained more oxygen atoms than the manganese atom. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. As a result, lithium is being oxidized.
Oxidation takes place at the anode of a cell. Therefore, the anode of this cell is made of lithium.
Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94. Each gram of Li would contain 1/6.94 = 0.144 moles of Li atoms. Each Li atom loses one electron in this cell. Therefore, the number of electron transferred, <em>n</em>, equals 0.144 moles for each gram of the anode.
Let represents the electrical energy produced.
, where
- <em>n</em> is the <em>number of moles</em> electrons transferred,
- <em>F</em> is the Faraday's constant,
- <em>E</em>
is the cell potential,
<em>n </em>= 0.144 mol, as shown above, and
<em>F </em>= 96.486 kJ / ().
Therefore,
