Question

What is the degree of unsaturation for a compound with the molecular formula c6h6?

Answer 1

Answer:

The degree of unsaturation for a compound with molecular formula C₆H₆ is 4.

Explanation:

The degree of unsaturation is calculated through the following formula:

2n + 2 - H / 2

n = Total number of hydrogen in given compound

There are six hydrogen in given compound, now we will calculate the degree of unsaturation by putting the value of n= 6

(2(6) + 2 - 6 )/ 2

(12+ 2 - 6) / 2

(14 - 6) /2

8 / 2 = 4

The degree of unsaturation for a compound with molecular formula C₆H₆ is 4.

The given compound is benzene and degree of unsaturation is 4. Three double bond and one ring.
