Question

What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of a compound with a molecular formula of c6h15n?

Answer 1

Answer:

IHD = 0

Explanation:

Given that

C₆H₁₅N

Number of carbon atoms(n) = 6

Number of hydrogen atoms(x') = 15

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

There is nitrogen atoms then x = x' -1

The index of hydrogen deficiency given as

$IHD=\dfrac{2n+2-x}{2}$

So

$IHD=\dfrac{2n+2-x}{2}$

$IHD=\dfrac{2\time 6+2-(15-1)}{2}$

IHD = 0

The index of hydrogen deficiency is zero.
