What would be the molecular formulas for straight chain hydrocarbon having 17

Question

carbon atoms and
a) All C-C single bonds.
b) One C-C double bond.
c) One C-C triple bond.
d) Three C-C double bonds.
e) Two C-C triple bonds.

Answer 1

a) If the straight chain hydrocarbon has 17 carbon atoms and all C-C single bonds, the molecular formula would be C17H36.

b) If it has one C-C double bond, the molecular formula would be C17H34.

c) If it has one C-C triple bond, the molecular formula would be C17H32.

d) If it has three C-C double bonds, the molecular formula would be C17H30.

e) If it has two C-C triple bonds, the molecular formula would be C17H28.
