The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. No. 96-511, 94 Stat. 2812, codified at 44 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 3501 â 3521) is a United States federal law enacted in 1980 designed to reduce the total amount of paperwork burden the federal government imposes on private businesses and citizens.
Alkanes, Alkenes & Alkynes. Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are simple hydrocarbon chains with no functional groups. Alkanes are identified because the carbon chain has only single bonds. Common alkanes include methane (natural gas), propane (heating and cooking fuel), butane (lighter fluid) and octane (automobile fuel). Alkenes have at least one double bond and alkynes have at least one triple bond. The most common alkyne is ethyne, better known as acetylene. The generic formula for alkanes is C n H 2n+2, where n is the number identified by the prefix. Alkenes have the formula C n H 2n and alkynes use the formula C n H 2n-2.
An unsaturated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon containing at least one double or triple bond. An alkene is a hydrocarbon containing double bonds. The general formula of an alkene is CnH2n. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon containing triple bonds. The general formula of an alkyne is CnH2n-2.The term saturated is used to refer to a compound in which all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds and every carbon atom is connected to a different atom.A saturated hydrocarbon will contain all the hydrogen atoms possible according to the alkane general formula CnH2n+2.n alkene is a hydrocarbon containing double bonds. The general formula of an alkene is CnH2n. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon containing triple bonds. The general formula of an alkyne is CnH2n-2.
