Because it contains carbon (yes this true). BUT it isn't why they're classed as saturated or un-saturated. If a hydrocarbon is saturated it is only a single bonded molecule, a un-saturated molecule is either a double and triple bonded molecule.

How many atoms of hydrogen are present in 2.32 mols of C2H4?

One Mole of C2H4 will containt 6.0221415×10^23 molecules of C2H4. Therefore 2.23 Moles of C2H4 will contain 1.39713683x10^24 molecules of C2H4. There are 4 Hydrogen atoms in C2H4, so 1.39713683x10^24 x 4 = 5.58854732X10^25 atoms of hydrogen.


How many grams of ethylene are needed to react with 0.132 mol of H20?
