A three-carbon alkene contains two double bonds. Predict its molecular formula? A) C3H4 B) C3H5 C) C3H6
2 answers:
Answer:
A) C3H4
Explanation:
We have to remember that for each c<u>arbon we must have 4 bonds</u>. In a three-carbon alkene we will have 2 bonds for the <u>left carbon</u>, 4 bonds for the<u> central carbon</u> and 2 bonds for the <u>right carbon</u> (Figure 1). Therefore we have to add <u>2 hydrogens in the left carbon and 2 hydrogens for the right carbon</u>. Finally, if we count the number of carbons and hydrogens we will get C3H4.

Solution
Graham's Law
r₁=4 x r₂
r₁ = Helium rate
r₂ = unknown gas rate
M₁= relative molecular mass of Helium = 4 g/mol
M₂ = relative molecular mass of the gas
