What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It means the chemical entity is a radical

Explanation:

When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.

While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.

In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.

Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?

The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.

Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

List or draw two ways to visually represent C6H14
KonstantinChe [14]
There are several ways to visually represent compounds. For this particular organic compound, we can use the skeletal formula and the expanded formula. The skeletal makes use of lines to show which atoms are bonded to each other. The expanded formula shows the species of the atoms and their bonding with other atoms. I have attached the two representations.

For the balanced chemical reaction
musickatia [10]

Answer:

150

Explanation:

  • C₄H₂OH + 6O2 → 4CO2 + 5H₂O

We can <u>find the equivalent number of O₂ molecules for 100 molecules of CO₂</u> using a <em>conversion factor containing the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>, as follows:

  • 100 molecules CO₂ * \frac{6moleculesO_2}{4moleculesCO_2} = 150 molecules O₂

150 molecules of O₂ would produce 100 molecules of CO₂.

A sample of an unknown gas with a mass of 8.21 g has a volume of 4.8064 L when the temperature is 200oC and the pressure is 1.81
Pie

Answer:

The answer to your question is M = 36.49 g

Explanation:

Data

mass = 8.21 g

volume = 4.8064 L

Temperature = 200°C

Pressure = 1.816 atm

M = ?

Process

1.- Convert temperature to °K

°K = 273 + 200

°K = 473

2.- Calculate the number of moles

n = (PV)/RT

n = (1.816)(4.8064)/(0.082)(473)

n = 0.225

3.- Calculate the molar mass

            M --------------- 1 mol

           8.21 g ---------- 0.225 moles

M = (1 x 8.21)/0.225

M = 36.49 g
