12. a) Calculate the number of degrees of unsaturation in a compound of Molecular formula C6H8\text{C}_6\text{H}_8.

  1. Use the formula for degrees of unsaturation (DoU).

    For a hydrocarbon with molecular formula CxHy\text{C}_x\text{H}_y, the degrees of unsaturation is given by:

    DoU=x−y2+1\text{DoU} = x - \frac{y}{2} + 1

  2. Substitute the values for C6H8\text{C}_6\text{H}_8.

    DoU=6−82+1\text{DoU} = 6 - \frac{8}{2} + 1
