Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the molecular formula of 2-butyne?
  • Step 1: Identify the name of the compound, which is 2-butyne.
  • Step 2: Understand that 'butyne' indicates it is a butyne, meaning it has 4 carbon atoms (C).
  • Step 3: Recognize that the '2-' prefix indicates the position of the triple bond in the carbon chain.
  • Step 4: Count the number of hydrogen atoms. For a triple bond, the formula is CnH(2n-2). Here, n = 4 (for 4 carbons).
  • Step 5: Calculate the number of hydrogens: H = 2(4) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6.
  • Step 6: Combine the number of carbons and hydrogens to write the molecular formula: C4H6.
