Question

write the molecular formula of an alkyne containing 10 atoms of hydrogen.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\bold\red{C_{6}H_{10}}$

Explanation:

There are 3 types of homologous series of organic Compounds.

• Alkane

• Alkene

• Alkyne

But,

We have to observe :-

$\bold\red{Alkyne}$

• The general formula for Alkyne seriesis given by $\bold\purple{C_{n}H_{2n-2}}$

Now,

In the given Question,

Number of Hydrogen = 10

Therefore,

Comparing from formula,

we get,

$= > 2n - 2 = 10 \\ \\ = > 2n = 12 \\ \\ = > n = \frac{12}{2} \\ \\ = > n = 6$

Therefore,

$2n - 2 = (2 \times 6) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10$

Hence,

Molecular formula of an alkyne containing 10 atoms of hydrogen is

$\bold{C_{6}H_{10}}$
