What is the ratio of hydrogen atoms present in heptyne to that in butene?
32
Heptyne is an Alkyne with general formula CnH2n-2. "Hept" is the suffix given to 7- carbon chain.
Putting n=7 in the general formula,
We get the number of hydrogen atoms = 2×7−2=14−2=12
So, the number of hydrogen atoms in heptyne is 12.
Butene is an alkene with a general formula as CnH2n. "But" is the root word for alkene with 4 carbons.
Substituting n=4 in the general formula.
We get the number of hydrogen atoms = 2×4=8
So, the number of hydrogen atoms in butene is 8.
The ratio of number of hydrogen atoms in heptyne to that in butene = 128=32
