A compound ' X ' absorbs 2 moles of hydrogen and ' X ' upon oxidation with KMnO4 | H+ gives [figure] The total number of bonds present in the compound ' X ' is .
Answer
27
Solution
2 mol H2 ⇒ X has two C=C; hot KMnO4/H+ cuts each C=C, so join the three products at their C=O ends:
[figure]
X = (CH3)2C=CH-CH2CH2-C(CH3)=CH-CH3 = C10H18
σ bonds = C–C + C–H = 9+18=27
Answer: 27
