Question

1.) Based on the molecular formula, determine if each compound is an alkane, alkene, or an alkyne. (Assume that all compounds are noncyclic and do not contain more than one multiple bond.) a. CaH6 b.) CsH4 c.) C11H22- 2.) Draw the structure for each of the following compounds. a. 3-ethylhexane b.) 1-pentene c.) 3,3-dimethyl-1-pentyne d.) 1,2,3-trimethylpentane 3.) Match the following compounds with the correct functional group name. Alkane Ester alkene ether alkyne amine alcohol ketone carboxylic acid aldehyde

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 :

Using the general formula of alkane alkene and alkyne we can classify these compounds.

Alkane = CnH2n+2

Alkene = CnH2n

alkyne = CnH2n-2

So here :

A) C3H6 - alkene

B) C8H14 - Alkyne

C) C11H22 - alkene

D) C4H10 - alkane
