Acompound, c15h24, is reacted with excess hydrogen using a metal catalyst. one equivalent of the compound consumed three equivalents of hydrogen. how many rings didthe original compound have?

1 ring

Explanation:

The molecular formula of a saturated alkane with 12 carbon atoms is while that of a cyclic alkane with 12 carbon atoms is . Thus, if six hydrogen atoms are removed from the compound, this would translate into a three double bonds. Therefore, the number of rings in the original compound would be one (1).

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
