C3H8 is saturated or unsaturated
2 answers:
Answer: saturated
Explanation:
Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is .
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is and
.
The given compound is belongs to formula
where n=3 and thus a saturated hydrocarbon.

Answer:
Most substituted alkene is produced as a major product
Explanation:
- Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol proceeds through E1 mechanism to form alkenes.
- Most substituted alkene is produced as major product because of presence of highest number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms corresponding to the produced double bond (Saytzeff product).
- Here, a H-shift also occurs in one of the intermediate step during dehydration to produce more stable tertiary carbocation.
- Reaction mechanism has been shown below.
Given :
Number of molecules of .
To Find :
How many moles are in given number of molecules.
Solution :
