80 mL of a hydrocarbon on mixing with 264 mL of oxygen in a closed U-tube undergoes complete combustion. The residual gases after cooling to 273 K occupy 224 mL . When the system is treated with KOH solution, the volume decreases to 64 mL . The formula of the hydrocarbon is :

Consider the following reaction of benzene.
In compound $(Q)$, the percentage of oxygen is $\_\_\_\_$ %. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:

Molecular mass of compound $Q$ is $157$.
In $Q$, oxygen contributes mass $16$ (for one oxygen atom).
So, percentage of oxygen in $Q$ is $\% \text{ of oxygen in product ' } Q \text{ ' is }=\frac{16}{157} \times 100=10.19 \%$
Nearest integer $=10$%.
The cycloalkene $(\mathrm{X})$ on bromination consumes one mole of bromine per mole of $(\mathrm{X})$ and gives the product $(\mathrm{Y})$ in which $\mathrm{C}: \mathrm{Br}$ ratio is 3:1. The percentage of bromine in the product $(\mathrm{Y})$ is $\_\_\_\_$ %. (Nearest integer)
(Given : molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{H}: 1, \mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{O}: 16, \mathrm{Br}: 80$ )
Explanation:
Bromination of a cycloalkene (one double bond) consumes 1 mole of $Br_2$ per mole of alkene, which means 2 bromine atoms add across the double bond.
So, product $(Y)$ is a dibromo compound.
Given in $(Y)$, the ratio $\mathrm{C}:\mathrm{Br} = 3:1$.
Let number of carbon atoms $= n$.
Number of bromine atoms $= 2$.
So,
$ \frac{n}{2} = \frac{3}{1} \;\Rightarrow\; n = 6 $
Hence $(Y)$ has formula:
$ \mathrm{C_6H_{10}Br_2} $
(since cyclohexene is $\mathrm{C_6H_{10}}$ and it adds $Br_2$)
Now molar mass of $(Y)$:
Carbon: $6 \times 12 = 72$
Hydrogen: $10 \times 1 = 10$
Bromine: $2 \times 80 = 160$
Total molar mass:
$ 72 + 10 + 160 = 242\ \mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}} $
Percentage of bromine:
$ \%Br = \frac{160}{242}\times 100 \approx 66.12\% $
Nearest integer $= \boxed{66\%}$.

Isomeric hydrocarbons → negative Baeyer’s test
(Molecular formula C9H12)
The total number of isomers from above with four different non-aliphatic substitution sites is -
Explanation:
Molecular formula of isomeric hydrocarbon $\to C_9H_{12}$ - Negative Baeyer's test
Baeyers test is given by compounds that contain readily active carbon-carbon double bond.
So, in a negative Baeyer's test, there is no readily active c = c.
Compounds that give negative Baeyer's test are alkanes and aromatic compounds.
C$_9$H$_{12}$ compound is not an alkane
(Alkane general formula C$_n$H$_{2n+2}$)
Hydrocarbons with the formula C$_9$H$_{12}$ are considered as aromatic and isomers of substituted benzene rings.
The possible isomers of C$_9$H$_{12}$ are

The sum of sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds in Hex-1,3-dien-5-yne is ________.
Explanation:
The compound given is hex-1,3-dien-5-yne structure is

A doble bond has one $\pi$ bond and one sigma bond.
A triple bond has one sigma bond and two $\pi$ bonds.
For the one triple bond, number of $\pi$ bonds = 2
For one double bond, number of $\pi$ bond = 1
For two double bonds, number of $\pi$ bonds = 2
So, total number of $\pi$ bonds = 2 + 2 = 4
For sigma bonds, count all carbon - carbon bonds and carbon - hydrogen bonds except the $\pi$ bonds in double bonds and triple bond.

The total number of sigma bonds = 11
So, total number of bonds:
$\sigma=11$
$\pi=4$
Sum of $\sigma$ and $\pi$ bonds
$=11+4=15$
