Question

An unsaturated hydrocarbon
having a triple covalent bond
has 50 hydrogen atoms in its
molecule. The number of carbon
atoms in its molecule will be:
O
(a) 24
O
(b) 25
(C) 26
O
(d) 28​

Answer 1

Answer:

options: (c)

Explanation:

The general formula for unsaturated hydrocarbons with triple bond, is CnH2n-2. Where 'n' is the number of atoms in one molecule. If the number of hydrogen atoms in its molecule is 50, then the number of carbon atoms should be 26 (2n-2 = 50; therefore, n = 26).

Answer 2

Answer:

(C) 26

Explanation:

The general formula for unsaturated hydrocarbons with triple bond, is CnH2n-2. Where 'n' is the number of atoms in one molecule. If the number of hydrogen atoms in its molecule is 50, then the number of carbon atoms should be 26 (2n-2 = 50; therefore, n = 26).
