Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The total number of hydrogen atoms present in a cycloalkane that contains eight carbon atoms has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the important basis of life. They include gasoline, coal, dyes, and clothing fibers etc. The compounds that are obtained from living organisms are termed as organic compounds and those obtained from the earth are known as inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are found in earth also apart from living organisms. All the organic compounds contain the element carbon. Urea was synthesized in the laboratory which is an organic compound.
Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon derivatives are the one in which the compounds contain hydrogen and carbon atoms along with one or more additional elements. The additional elements that can be present in hydrocarbon derivatives are oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine etc.
Hydrocarbons are further classified into two categories. They are saturated hydrocarbons and
Cycloalkanes are a class of saturated hydrocarbons that contain a ring of carbon atoms with or without alkyl substituents on it. The general molecular formula for cycloalkanes is
(a)
Answer to Problem 12.93EP
The total number of hydrogen atoms present is 16.
Explanation of Solution
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms with a ring structure. The general molecular formula for cycloalkane is
The total number of hydrogen atoms that will be present in the given cycloalkane is found to be sixteen.
The total number of hydrogen atoms present in the cycloalkane containing eight carbon atoms is sixteen.
(b)
Interpretation:
The total number of carbon atoms present in cycloalkane that contains twelve hydrogen atoms has to be identified.

Hydrocarbons are further classified into two categories. They are saturated hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons that contain single bonds between carbon atoms in the entire molecule is known as saturated hydrocarbon. The hydrocarbons that contain atleast one double or triple bond between two carbon atoms in the entire molecule is known as unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Cycloalkanes are a class of saturated hydrocarbons that contain a ring of carbon atoms with or without alkyl substituents on it. The general molecular formula for cycloalkanes is
(b)
Answer to Problem 12.93EP
The total number of carbon atoms present is 6.
Explanation of Solution
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms with a ring structure. The general molecular formula for cycloalkane is
The total number of carbon atoms that will be present in the given cycloalkane is found to be six.
The total number of carbon atoms present in the alkane containing twelve hydrogen atoms is six.
(c)
Interpretation:
The total number of carbon atoms present in cycloalkane when the total atoms present in it was 15 has to be identified.

Answer to Problem 12.93EP
The total number of carbon atoms present is 5.
Explanation of Solution
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms with no ring structure. The general molecular formula for cycloalkane is
The total number of carbon atoms that will be present in the given cycloalkane is found to be five.
The total number of carbon atoms present in the cycloalkane containing a total of 15 atoms is five.
(d)
Interpretation:
The total number of covalent bonds present in the cycloalkane that contains five carbon atoms has to be identified.

Answer to Problem 12.93EP
The total number of covalent bonds present is 15.
Explanation of Solution
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms with ring structure. The general molecular formula for cycloalkane is
From the formula obtained for the cycloalkane, it is clear that there are ten hydrogen atoms and five carbon atoms. Each hydrogen atom will be bonded to carbon atom through a covalent bond. Each carbon atom will be bonded to other carbon atom through a covalent bond in a cylic fashion. Hence, a total of 15 covalent bonds will be present in the cycloalkane that contains five carbon atoms.
The total number of covalent bonds present in the cycloalkane that contains five carbon atoms is 15.
