Interpretation: The number of hydrogen atoms in the saturated hydrocarbons that contain
Concept introduction: The aliphatic hydrocarbons that have only
Answer to Problem 4.1P
The number of
Explanation of Solution
The given hydrocarbons of sex pheromone are saturated acyclic alkanes.
The aliphatic hydrocarbons that have only
The general molecular formula of acyclic alkanes is
Where,
• n is an integer, that represents number of carbon atoms.
For the hydrocarbon of sex pheromone that contains
Substitute the value of number of carbon atoms
Thus, the molecular formula of hydrocarbon that contains
Hence, the number of hydrogen atoms is

- Aldehydes and ketones can be named in a systematic way by counting the number of carbon atoms (including the carbonyl carbon) that they contain. The name of the aldehyde or ketone is based on the hydrocarbon with the same number of carbon atoms. The ending -al for aldehyde or -one for ketone is added as appropriate.
