Answer:

alkenes and alkynes are considered as unsaturated hydrocarbons because they are capable of reacting with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to form a saturated hydrocarbon (alkanes)

Explanation:

A saturated compound contains a chain of carbon atoms joined by single bonds, with hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom.  

Propane for example, CH₃-CH₂-CH₃.  

It is saturated because all the carbon atoms holds maximum number of hydrogen atoms.  

Alkenes such as Propene (CH₂=CH-CH₃) and alkynes like Propyne,

(CH₃-C≡C-H) are unsaturated because the central carbon atoms contain less number of hydrogen atoms than they possibly could.

Your old bike left out in the rain starts to rust. What coefficients fill in the blanks to balance the equation?
galina1969 [7]
Hello!

The balanced chemical equation for the rusting of iron is the following:

4 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

The coefficients to balance the equation are 4,3,2. The fundament of this balance is the Law of Conservation of Mass. This Law states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, and in a chemical equation, the moles of each atom is conserved in both sides of the arrow. That means that if 4 Fe atoms are on the left side, 4 Fe atoms should be on the right side. 

A suggestion for balancing equations is to start with metal atoms, continuing with non-metals, then hydrogen and lastly oxygen. 

Have a nice day!

How many seconds are required to produce 4.00 g of aluminum metal from the electrolysis of molten alcl3 with an electrical curre
Brilliant_brown [7]
The correct answer is e. 3.57×10³
Al³+(aq) + 3e→AL(s)
4.00g of AL=4g/26.98 g/mol= 0.1483 mol
t=znF/1 where t is time in seceonds.
Z= valency number of ions of the substance or electrons which are transferred per ion
F= Faraday's constant
I = electric current in'A'CA  C/s
t=(3×0.1483 mol ×96485 C/mol) /12(C15)
t=3577 second = 3.5 ×10³s
