JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 24th January Evening Shift - No. 22)

The hydrocarbon $(\mathrm{X})$ with molar mass $80 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ and $90 \%$ carbon has _______ degree of unsaturation.
Answer
3

Explanation

Mass of carbon $=\frac{80 \times 90}{100}=72 \mathrm{gm}$

Number of C-atoms $=\frac{72}{12}=6$

Mass of hydrogen $=\frac{80 \times 10}{800}=8 \mathrm{gm}$

Number of H -atoms $=\frac{8}{1}=8$

So molecular formula $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_8$

D.U. $=6+1-8 / 2=7-4=3$
