A straight-chain hydrocarbon has more than one double bond. Ozone cuts every one of them. You will count what forms.
The idea. Each double bond is cut into two C=O groups. A chain with double bonds is cut into pieces. Each double bond uses one molecule of ozone.
Your tasks.
ozone to the moles of ozone that one mole of the hydrocarbon uses.carbonyls to the number of C=O groups in all the products, counted for one molecule.pieces to the number of molecules the chain is cut into.left_piece to the number of carbon atoms in the left-hand piece when the first double bond sits between carbon first and carbon first + 1.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
