The pressure exerted by a gas in a container depends on A.the space between the molecules B.the instrument used to measure the pressure C.the number of collisions between gas molecules and other gas molecules D.the number of collisions between gas molecules and the walls of the container.

Option D. Saturated alkane

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, it is important that we know what saturated and unsaturated compounds are in this context.

Saturated hydrocarbons are compounds which has only carbon to carbon single bonds (C–C) in its chain. A very good example of such compound is the Alkanes.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are compounds which has either a carbon to carbon double bond (C=C) or a carbon to carbon triple bond (C≡C) in its chain. Examples of such compounds include alkenes and alkynes.

Now, let us answer the question given above bearing the meaning of saturated and unsaturated compounds in mind.

The compound given above contains only carbon to carbon (C–C) single bond.

Therefore, the compound is a saturated alkane.
