Question

which of the following is aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon?a-C6H6,b-C6H10,c-C6H12,-d-C6H14

Answer 1

Your answer is (d)

Aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon means alkane

Alkane have the general formula C(n)H(2n+2).

Answer 2

Option D (C6H14) is the correct answer.

• An aliphatic compound is defined as the chemical formula which consists of only Carbons and Hydrogens.
• A saturated hydrocarbon is defined as a compound containing only single bonds.
• A saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon is defined as a compound containing only single bonds with only Carbons and Hydrogens.
• Alkanes are classified as saturated hydrocarbons. The general form of the alkanes is$C_{n}H_{2n+2}$.

• Option D C6H14 is considered as an alkane as it satisfied the condition$C_{n}H_{2n+2}$. Hence, C6H14 is considered an aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
