The correct Answer is:
To determine which compound has the same degree of unsaturation as acetylene (ethyne), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Molecular Formula of Acetylene Acetylene, also known as ethyne, has the molecular formula: \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Degree of Unsaturation for Acetylene The degree of unsaturation (DU) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{DU} = C - \frac{H}{2} + \frac{N}{2} - \frac{X}{2} + 1 \] Where: - \( C \) = number of carbon atoms - \( H \) = number of hydrogen atoms - \( N \) = number of nitrogen atoms - \( X \) = number of halogen atoms For acetylene: - \( C = 2 \) - \( H = 2 \) - \( N = 0 \) (no nitrogen) - \( X = 0 \) (no halogens) Substituting the values into the formula: \[ \text{DU} = 2 - \frac{2}{2} + \frac{0}{2} - \frac{0}{2} + 1 \] \[ \text{DU} = 2 - 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 \] \[ \text{DU} = 2 \] ### Step 3: Analyze the Options We need to check the degree of unsaturation for each of the given options and find which one matches with acetylene's degree of unsaturation (DU = 2). #### Option A: Cyclohexane (C6H12) Calculate DU: \[ C = 6, H = 12 \] \[ \text{DU} = 6 - \frac{12}{2} + 0 + 0 + 1 \] \[ \text{DU} = 6 - 6 + 1 = 1 \] **Not a match.** #### Option B: Cyclohexene (C6H10) Calculate DU: \[ C = 6, H = 10 \] \[ \text{DU} = 6 - \frac{10}{2} + 0 + 0 + 1 \] \[ \text{DU} = 6 - 5 + 1 = 2 \] **This is a match.** #### Option C: C6H8 Calculate DU: \[ C = 6, H = 8 \] \[ \text{DU} = 6 - \frac{8}{2} + 0 + 0 + 1 \] \[ \text{DU} = 6 - 4 + 1 = 3 \] **Not a match.** #### Option D: Benzene (C6H6) Calculate DU: \[ C = 6, H = 6 \] \[ \text{DU} = 6 - \frac{6}{2} + 0 + 0 + 1 \] \[ \text{DU} = 6 - 3 + 1 = 4 \] **Not a match.** ### Conclusion The compound that has the same degree of unsaturation as acetylene is **Option B: Cyclohexene (C6H10)**. ---
