There is \boxed{{\text{one}}} element of unsaturation that is implied by the molecular formula {{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{12}}}}.

Further Explanation:

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are composed of hydrogen and carbon only. Aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanes, cycloalkanes are different types of hydrocarbons.

Types of hydrocarbons:

1. Saturated hydrocarbons

These are the simplest type of hydrocarbons. These are composed of only single bonds and therefore called saturated hydrocarbons. The general formula of saturated hydrocarbons is {{\text{C}}_n}{{\text{H}}_{2n + 2}}, where <em>n</em> is the number of carbon atoms. Methane, butane, hexane, and propane are some examples of saturated hydrocarbons.

2. Unsaturated hydrocarbons

These have one or more multiple bonds in them. Hydrocarbons consisting of double bonds are called alkenes while those comprising of triple bonds are called alkynes. The general formula for alkenes is {{\text{C}}_n}{{\text{H}}_{2n}}, while that of alkynes is {{\text{C}}_n}{{\text{H}}_{2n - 2}}, where<em> n</em> is the number of carbon atoms.

The formula to calculate the element of unsaturation is as follows:

{\text{Element of unsaturation}}=\dfrac{{\left( {2{\text{C}} + {\text{2}} - {\text{H}} - {\text{X}} + {\text{N}}} \right)}}{2}                                        …… (1)

Here,

C is the number of carbons.

H is the number of hydrogens.

X is the number of halogens.

N is the number of nitrogens.

The molecular formula of the given compound is {{\text{C}}_6}{{\text{H}}_{12}}. So it has 6 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms in it.

Substitute 6 for C, 12 for H, 0 for X and 0 for N in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Element of unsaturation}}&=\frac{{\left( {2\left( {\text{6}} \right) + {\text{2}} - {\text{12}} - {\text{0}} + {\text{0}}} \right)}}{2}\\&={1}\end{aligned}

Therefore there is only one element of unsaturation in {{\text{C}}_6}{{\text{H}}_{12}}. This indicates either the presence of a double bond or a ring in the given compound.

A student carried out a simple distillation on a compound known to boil at 124 oc and they reported a boiling point of 116-117 o
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer :

The correct answer is due to incorrect position of thermometer .

Distillation  is process of separating two volatile liquids on the basis of their boiling points .In involves the following set up ( shown in image )

Since the Boiling point is found   is 116-117 C which is near to 124 C , also the purity was checked and thermometer was calibrated .

So the only error could be possible is position of thermometer .

The position of  bulb of thermometer is very important to get an accurate reading of boiling point .The vapor so formed should touch the side walls of bulb as soon as they are formed .

May be  the bulb of thermometer was   kept far from the vapors formed by liquid so,  s<u>ome of  the vapor before reaching to  bulb start condensing and their Temperature decreases </u>.  

Hence , the  temperature shown by thermometer was decrease than actual boiling point  due to incorrect position of thermometer.

What causes salinization​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Salinization is the increase of salt concentration in soil and is, in most cases, caused by dissolved salts in the water supply. This supply of water can be caused by flooding of the land by seawater, seepage of seawater or brackish groundwater through the soil from below.

How can erode soil affect the body of water. ASAP​
Murrr4er [49]
Soil erosion has consequences that go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has resulted in an increase in contamination and sedimentation in lakes and rivers, clogging them and causing fish and other animals to decline. Degraded lands are also less capable of retaining water, which can exacerbate flooding.
