The correct Answer is:
To determine the degree of unsaturation (also known as the index of hydrogen deficiency) for the given compounds, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Degree of Unsaturation} = \frac{(2 \times \text{number of carbon atoms} + 2 - \text{number of hydrogen atoms})}{2} \] Let's apply this formula step by step for each compound. ### Step 1: Calculate for C₆H₁₄ 1. **Identify the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms**: - Carbon (C) = 6 - Hydrogen (H) = 14 2. **Substitute into the formula**: \[ \text{Degree of Unsaturation} = \frac{(2 \times 6 + 2 - 14)}{2} \] 3. **Calculate**: - \(2 \times 6 = 12\) - \(12 + 2 = 14\) - \(14 - 14 = 0\) - \(\frac{0}{2} = 0\) **Result**: The degree of unsaturation for C₆H₁₄ is **0**. ### Step 2: Calculate for C₄H₆ 1. **Identify the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms**: - Carbon (C) = 4 - Hydrogen (H) = 6 2. **Substitute into the formula**: \[ \text{Degree of Unsaturation} = \frac{(2 \times 4 + 2 - 6)}{2} \] 3. **Calculate**: - \(2 \times 4 = 8\) - \(8 + 2 = 10\) - \(10 - 6 = 4\) - \(\frac{4}{2} = 2\) **Result**: The degree of unsaturation for C₄H₆ is **2**. ### Step 3: Calculate for C₆H₆ 1. **Identify the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms**: - Carbon (C) = 6 - Hydrogen (H) = 6 2. **Substitute into the formula**: \[ \text{Degree of Unsaturation} = \frac{(2 \times 6 + 2 - 6)}{2} \] 3. **Calculate**: - \(2 \times 6 = 12\) - \(12 + 2 = 14\) - \(14 - 6 = 8\) - \(\frac{8}{2} = 4\) **Result**: The degree of unsaturation for C₆H₆ is **4**. ### Final Summary of Results: - For C₆H₁₄: Degree of Unsaturation = **0** - For C₄H₆: Degree of Unsaturation = **2** - For C₆H₆: Degree of Unsaturation = **4**

To determine the degree of unsaturation (also known as the index of hydrogen deficiency) for the given compounds, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Degree of Unsaturation} = \frac{(2 \times \text{number of carbon atoms} + 2 - \text{number of hydrogen atoms})}{2} \] Let's apply this formula step by step for each compound. ...
