The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the total number of structural isomers for the molecular formula \( C_6H_{12} \) that contain a cyclopropane ring. Then, we will use this value to calculate \( \frac{x + 5}{2} \), where \( x \) is the number of structural isomers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure**: - The molecular formula \( C_6H_{12} \) indicates that we have a total of 6 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms. The presence of a cyclopropane ring means that 3 of these carbon atoms will form a cyclic structure. 2. **Calculate Remaining Carbon Atoms**: - Since 3 carbon atoms are used in the cyclopropane ring, we have \( 6 - 3 = 3 \) carbon atoms left to arrange as structural isomers. 3. **Determine Possible Arrangements**: - The remaining 3 carbon atoms can be arranged in different ways: - **Straight Chain (n-propyl)**: This is one isomer. - **Branched Chains**: - One branch can be at the first carbon (isobutyl). - Another arrangement can be a methyl branch on the second carbon (sec-butyl). - These arrangements yield multiple structural isomers. 4. **Count the Structural Isomers**: - After analyzing the arrangements, we find that there are a total of 6 structural isomers for \( C_6H_{12} \) containing a cyclopropane ring. 5. **Calculate \( x + 5 \) and then \( \frac{x + 5}{2} \)**: - Here, \( x = 6 \) (the number of structural isomers). - Now, calculate \( x + 5 \): \[ x + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11 \] - Now, calculate \( \frac{x + 5}{2} \): \[ \frac{x + 5}{2} = \frac{11}{2} = 5.5 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \frac{x + 5}{2} \) is \( 5.5 \).
