Question

how many double bond equivalent does a compound of molecular formula C6 H12 O6 possesse ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The molecular formula for benzene is C6H6. Thus, DoU= 4, where C=6, N=0,X=0, and H=6. 1 DoB can equal 1 ring or 1 double bond. This corresponds to benzene containing 1 ring and 3 double bonds.

Answer 2

The number of the double bond equivalent to a compound of molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆ possesses is 1.

Given:

Glucose - C6 H12 O6

To Find:

We are required to find the number of the double bond equivalent to a compound of molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆ possesses.

Solution:

We know the basic molecular formula for alkanes is given as

CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ ------(1)

Glucose(C₆H₁₂O₆) is also a alkane but with six membered ring.

For n = 6 in equation(1)

C₆H₍₂ₓ₆₎₊₂ = C₆H₁₄

On comparing C₆H₁₂O₆ with alkane structural formula C₆H₁₄

Number of H atoms in C₆H₁₄ - Number of H atoms in  C₆H₁₂O₆ = 14-12

Number of H atoms in C₆H₁₄ - Number of H atoms in  C₆H₁₂O₆ = 2

For number of double bond equivalent,

= (Number of H atoms in C₆H₁₄ - Number of H atoms in  C₆H₁₂O₆) /2

= 2/2

= 1

Therefore, The number of the double bond equivalent to a compound of molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆ possesses is 1.
