Chapter 7: Q41P (page 315)

What is the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon that has 1 triple bond, 2 double bonds, 1 ring, and 32 carbons?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The molecular formula is C32H66.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Definition of molecular formula-

The number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a chemical is expressed by the molecular formula.

The molecular formula is a formula that shows the exact number of atoms in a molecule.

02

Definition of degree of unsaturation-

The degree of unsaturation (sometimes called the index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD), double bond equivalents, or unsaturation indexis a computation that determines the total number of rings and bonds in a compound.

03

The molecular formula of a hydrocarbon that has 1 triple bond, 2 double bonds, 1 ring, and 32 carbons. 

The molecular formula of the hydrocarbon isC32H66.

With the one triple bond, two double bond and one ring, the degree of unsaturation is 5.

Therefore, the compound is missing 10 hydrogens from CnH2n+2 =C32H66.
