Calculate the degree of unsaturation for C₅H₅Br₂NO.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degree of unsaturation can be calculated using the formula:
Degree of unsaturation = (2n + 2 - m - x)/2
Where n is the number of carbons, m is the number of hydrogens, and x is the number of halogens and/or other heteroatoms (oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur) present.
Plugging in the given values, we get:
n = 10
m = 2(15) + 12 + 1 = 43
x = 2 + 1 + 15 + 1 + 12 + 1 = 32
Degree of unsaturation = (2(10) + 2 - 43 - 32)/2 = 3
