Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 1P

a. How many hydrogen does an alkene with 17 carbons have?

b. How many carbons does an alkane with 74 hydrogen have?

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of hydrogen atoms should be identified in the alkanes with 17 carbons.

Concept introduction:

Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry).  IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely prefix suffix and root word.

Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.

Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule.  It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc.

Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.

Answer to Problem 1P

The number of hydrogens atoms in alkanes with 17 carbons are 36

Explanation of Solution

Analyzing for the statement (a):

Let us consider the following general molecular formula

There is 17 carbon atoms in an alkane

CnH(2n+2)

It indicated for n=17The (n) values substituted for above equationCnH(2n+2)=C17H(2(17)+2)=C17H(34+2)=C17H36

The numbers of hydrogen atoms are in (36)

Answer to Problem 1P

The number of carbon atoms in alkane with 74 hydrogens in 36

Explanation of Solution

Analyzing for the statement (a):

Let us consider the following general molecular formula

The numbers of hydrogen atoms are in (36)

The alkanes with 74 hydrogens haveCnH(2n+2)=  CnH74It indicated for 2n+2=74n=74-22=36

Therefore, the number of carbon atom in this compound is 36
