Interpretation:
IHD for the compound having the molecular formula
Concept introduction:
In order to determine the IHD of a given molecular formula, first draw any saturated molecule that has the same number of each non-hydrogen atom as in the given formula. The general formula of a saturated hydrocarbon is
Answer to Problem 4.49P
IHD for the compound having molecular formula
Explanation of Solution
The given molecular formula is
Thus, this saturated molecule has 8 additional hydrogen atoms as compared to the given molecular formula. IHD for the given molecular formula is calculated by dividing that number of additional hydrogen atoms by 2. Thus, IHD is
The IHD for the compound with a given molecular formula is calculated by applying the steps above.

Answer to Problem 4.49P
IHD for the compound having molecular formula
Explanation of Solution
The given molecular formula is
It takes a total of 15 hydrogen atoms to saturate each carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in this compound. Thus, this saturated molecule has 10 additional hydrogen atoms as compared to the given molecular formula. IHD for the given molecular formula is calculated by dividing that number of additional hydrogen atoms by 2. Thus IHD is

- A student draws the picture of ammonia (NH3) in the box below, left, and predicts it will be a flatmolecule with HNH bond angles of exactly 120°. Unfortunately, the student left something out. a. What did the student omit from his drawing? b. What is the actual HNH bond angle of ammonia (based on the draw g above, right)? c. Explain why water, ammonia, and methane (shown below) all have about the same bondangles (close to 109.5°) even though they have different numbers of bonds.arrow_forwardAll carbon-to-carbon bond lengths are identical in benzene. Does this argue for or against the presence of C=C bonds in benzene? Explain.arrow_forwardConsider the following molecules: SiH4, PH3, H2S. In each case, a central atom is surrounded by four electron pairs. In which of these molecules would you expect the bond angle to be less than 109.5? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
