Giving reasons for your answers, indicate whether each of the following formulas is saturated, unsaturated,?

Question

A.) C5H12 B.) CH2 C.) C3H9 D.) C2H2 E.) C3H6

Answer 1

A ) saturated
formula alkanes number of H = 2(n+1) n is number of carbons

b) unsaturated

c) C3H9 seems me impossible

d)C2H2 unsaturated

e) C3H6 unsaturated a double bound in the molecule

Please verify your questions

Answer 2

A saturated hydrocarbon always has the general formula C(n)H(2n+2).

C5H12 fits, so it's saturated. C3H6 does not fit, so it's unsaturated. See if you can do the rest.

Answer 3

A)...Ch3-Ch2-Ch2-Ch2-Ch3 ...Saturated Pentane.(All Carbon bonds taken with Hydrogen)
B)...CH2=C ...Not possible. (The final 'C' needs 2 more atoms of H or other atoms).
C)...CH3-CH2-CH3... C3H8 (C3H9 doesn't exist).
D)...CHΞCH...Unsaturated Ethyne. 2 'C' with triple bond.
E)...CH3-CH=CH2... Unsaturated Propene. (2 H more will give Propane as in 'C)' above).

Answer 4

a)has the form of CnH2n+2...it has the max number of H..then saturated
b) C still needs two more H ....unsaturated
c)can not exist too much H the max of H for three C atoms is 8 ...CnH2n+2..C3H8
d) has the form of CnH2n-2 ..can take 4 more H...alkyne..unsaturated
e) CnH2n...alkene..can take 2 more

Answer 5

formula of a saturated hydrocarbon:CnH(2n+2);
A) n=5 -> 2n+2=12 so this compound is saturated!
& so forth... .
GOOD LUCK!
