The number of
Explanation of Solution
The given hydrocarbons of sex pheromone are saturated acyclic alkanes.
The aliphatic hydrocarbons that have only
The general molecular formula of acyclic alkanes is
Where,
• n is an integer, that represents number of carbon atoms.
For the hydrocarbon of sex pheromone that contains
Substitute the value of number of carbon atoms
Thus, the molecular formula of hydrocarbon that contains
Hence, the number of hydrogen atoms is

- Organic compounds may have characteristic odors as well as other characteristic physical properties. For example, the distinct odor of the seashore at low tide results in part from the presence of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), a molecule with a similar structure to dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3). Ethanethiol (CH3CH2SH), also called mercaptan, is an isomer of dimethyl sulfide with a much less pleasant odor.The table lists four related compounds and their enthalpies of vaporization (ΔH°vap) in kJ/mol. Compound ΔH°vap (kJ/mol) CH3OCH3 23 CH3SCH3 28 CH3CH2SH 27.5 CH3CH2OH 42 Rank the following compounds in order of increasing strength of their intermolecular forces, given the ΔH°vap listed for each. Place the compound with the strongest intermolecular forces (IMFs) at the top of the list. (Strongest to weaknest). Why is ΔHºvap for CH3SCH3 greater than ΔHºvap for CH3OCH3? A. CH3OCH3 is more polar. B. CH3SCH3 has stronger dipole–dipole attractions. C.
