What is the molecular formula of
(a) the alkane, alkene, and alkyne containing six carbon atoms?
(b) the alkane containing ten hydrogen atoms?
STRATEGY
Apply the formulas:
for alkanes
for alkenes
for alkynes
| alkane: n = 6; H atoms = 2n + 2 = 2(6) + 2 = 14 → alkene: n = 6; H atoms = 2n = 2(6) = 12 → alkyne: n = 6; H atoms = 2n – 2 = 2(6) – 2 = 10 → |
(a) Six C atoms |
| alkane with 10 H atoms: 2n + 2 = 10; n = 4 → | (b) Alkane with ten H atoms |
