Question

What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of a compound with a molecular formula of c6h15n?

Answer 1

IHD = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

C₆H₁₅N

Number of carbon atoms(n) = 6

Number of hydrogen atoms(x') = 15

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

There is nitrogen atoms then x = x' -1

The index of hydrogen deficiency given as

`IHD=(2n+2-x)/(2)`

So

`IHD=(2n+2-x)/(2)`

`IHD=(2\time 6+2-(15-1))/(2)`

IHD = 0

The index of hydrogen deficiency is zero.
