Answer 1

Answer:

The molecular formula of an organic compound is C48H94. This compound belongs to the homologous series of

(a) alkenes

(b) aldehydes

(c) alkynes

(d) alkanes

Answer 2

Option (c) is the correct answer Alkynes is the answer.

The compound with molecular formula C48H94 of an organic compound belongs to the homologous series of alkynes.

Explanation:

• The general formula of the homologous series of alkynes is  CnH2n-2.
• where n will represent the number of carbon atoms which is present in a single molecule of alkyne.
• The given molecular formula C48H94 it shows the homologous series of alkynes.
• In a homologous series, it is a family of hydrocarbons that have similar chemical properties and which share the same general formula.
• There are three hydrocarbon series that is alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
• Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon.
