Expert Solution
Step 1

An organic compound (A) has a general formula CnH2n. This compound has 7 carbon atoms. When the compound is hydrogenated, it forms a compound (B) having two excess H atoms.

  1. The compound A is to be identified and its name is to be written.
  2. The compound B is to be identified and its name is to be written.
  3. Out of (A) and (B), the saturated hydrocarbon is to be identified.
  4. The figure that can be regarded as the isomer of (B) is to be identified.Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1
Step 2

a. The given compound (A) has a general formula CnH2n. Thus, it represents the general formula of an alkene.

Hence, A is an alkene.

Now, A has 7 carbon atoms (n = 7).

Thus, number of hydrogen atoms = 2n = 2×7 = 14

 

Therefore, compound A is C7H14.

Name of A- Heptene.

Step 3

b. Now, hydrogenation is known as addition of H2 across a double bond resulting in formation of alkanes from alkenes.

Now, When the compound A is hydrogenated, it forms a compound (B) having two excess H atoms.

Thus compound B is heptane with chemical formula C7H16.
