Q.

17 mg of a hydrocarbon (M.F. C10H16) takes up 8.40 mL of the H2 gas measured at 0°C and 760 mm of Hg. Ozonolysis of the same hydrocarbon yields

The number of double bond/s present in the hydrocarbon is ________.             [2023]


Ans.

(3)

C10H16 has DU = 3

Now millimoles of hydrocarbon and H2 gas are as follows respectively:

millimoles of hydrocarbon =17136=0.125

8.4022400×103=0.375 millimoles of H2 gas

Hence, they are in ratio 1 : 3 to confirm 3π bonds in molecules.
