Question

Write the molecular formula of an alkyne containing 10 atoms of hydrogen.

Answer 1

Answer:The basic formula of alkyne is

CnH2n-2

So, here

2n-2=10

n-1 = 5

n = 6

So, therefore, the formula of the alkyne becomes

C6H10

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given: An alkyne has 10 atoms of hydrogen.

To find: We have to find its molecular formula.

Solution:

The alkynes are a type of hydrocarbons that contain a carbon-carbon triple bond.

The general formula of the alkyne is $C_nH_{2n-2}$.

The alkyne has 10 hydrogen atoms.

So, we can write-

$2n - 2 = 10 \\ 2n = 12 \\ n = 6$

The value of n is six.

Thus the alkyne compound has six carbon atoms and ten hydrogens atoms.

The molecular formula is $C_6H_{10}$.
