Interpretation:
The IHD of the given compounds is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
▸ Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.
▸ Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.
▸ Free radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has unpaired electrons which makes it highly chemically reactive.
▸ Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
▸ Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
▸ Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
▸ The reaction in which hydrogen is added to the compound in the presence of catalyst is known as hydrogenation.
▸ The number of moles of hydrogen absorbed will be equal to the number of double bonds.
▸ Hydrogenation of
▸ The change in number of pairs of hydrogen atoms of a given compound and the acyclic compound which has the number of carbon atoms same as the number of carbon atoms in the given compound, is known as the Index of hydrogen deficiency.
▸ The Index of hydrogen deficiency can be denoted by IHD.
▸ The Index of hydrogen deficiency can be calculated by using the following formula:
Here C represents number of carbon atoms, H represents number of hydrogen atoms, N represents number of nitrogen atoms, and X represents number of halogen atoms.

- An impurity sometimes found in Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is Fe₂O₃, whichis removed during the production of phosphorus as ferrophos-phorus(Fe₂P). (a) Why is this impurity troubling from an eco-nomic standpoint? (b) If 50. metric tons of crude Ca₃(PO₄)₂ contains 2.0% Fe₂O₃ by mass and the overall yield of phospho-rus is 90.%, how many metric tons of P₄ can be isolated?arrow_forwardThe molecular weight of sperm whale myoglobin is 17.8 kDa.17.8 kDa. The myoglobin content of sperm whale muscle is about 80 g · kg−1.80 g · kg−1. In contrast, the myoglobin content of some human muscles is about 8 g · kg−1.8 g · kg−1. Compare the amounts of O2O2 bound to myoglobin in human muscle and in sperm whale muscle. Assume that the myoglobin is saturated with O2,O2, and that the molecular weights of human and sperm whale myoglobin are the same. How much O2O2 is bound to myoglobin in human muscle? How much O2O2 is bound to myoglobin in whale muscle? The amount of oxygen dissolved in tissue water at 37°C37°C is about 3.5×10−5 M.3.5×10−5 M.
