The correct Answer is:
To determine the degree of unsaturation for the given compounds, we can use the formula for calculating the degree of unsaturation (DU): \[ DU = \frac{(2C + 2 + N - X - H)}{2} \] Where: - \(C\) = number of carbon atoms - \(N\) = number of nitrogen atoms - \(X\) = number of halogen atoms (like Cl, Br, etc.) - \(H\) = number of hydrogen atoms Now, let's calculate the degree of unsaturation for each compound step by step. ### i. For \(C_3H_3Cl_3\) 1. **Identify the number of atoms**: - Carbon (C) = 3 - Hydrogen (H) = 3 - Halogen (Cl) = 3 - Nitrogen (N) = 0 (not present) 2. **Substitute into the formula**: \[ DU = \frac{(2 \times 3 + 2 + 0 - 3 - 3)}{2} \] 3. **Calculate**: - \(2 \times 3 = 6\) - \(6 + 2 = 8\) - \(8 - 3 - 3 = 2\) - \(\frac{2}{2} = 1\) **Degree of Unsaturation for \(C_3H_3Cl_3\) is 1.** ### ii. For \(C_3H_4O\) 1. **Identify the number of atoms**: - Carbon (C) = 3 - Hydrogen (H) = 4 - Oxygen (O) = 1 (not counted in the formula) - Nitrogen (N) = 0 (not present) - Halogen (X) = 0 (not present) 2. **Substitute into the formula**: \[ DU = \frac{(2 \times 3 + 2 + 0 - 0 - 4)}{2} \] 3. **Calculate**: - \(2 \times 3 = 6\) - \(6 + 2 = 8\) - \(8 - 4 = 4\) - \(\frac{4}{2} = 2\) **Degree of Unsaturation for \(C_3H_4O\) is 2.** ### iii. For \(C_4H_5N\) 1. **Identify the number of atoms**: - Carbon (C) = 4 - Hydrogen (H) = 5 - Nitrogen (N) = 1 - Halogen (X) = 0 (not present) 2. **Substitute into the formula**: \[ DU = \frac{(2 \times 4 + 2 + 1 - 0 - 5)}{2} \] 3. **Calculate**: - \(2 \times 4 = 8\) - \(8 + 2 = 10\) - \(10 + 1 = 11\) - \(11 - 5 = 6\) - \(\frac{6}{2} = 3\) **Degree of Unsaturation for \(C_4H_5N\) is 3.** ### Summary of Results: - Degree of Unsaturation for \(C_3H_3Cl_3\) = 1 - Degree of Unsaturation for \(C_3H_4O\) = 2 - Degree of Unsaturation for \(C_4H_5N\) = 3 ### Final Answer: The degrees of unsaturation are: - \(C_3H_3Cl_3\): 1 - \(C_3H_4O\): 2 - \(C_4H_5N\): 3

To determine the degree of unsaturation for the given compounds, we can use the formula for calculating the degree of unsaturation (DU): \[ DU = \frac{(2C + 2 + N - X - H)}{2} \] Where: - \(C\) = number of carbon atoms ...
