The general formula of benzene is C6H6 and the general formula of diacetylene is C4H2. Therefore, the general formulas of benzene and diacetylene are not the same. Benzene is a six-carbon ring with alternating single and double bonds, while diacetylene is a four-carbon chain with two triple bonds. These structural differences result in different chemical and physical properties for these two compounds. It is important to note that while the general formulas may be different, both benzene and diacetylene are important organic compounds with various industrial and biological applications.
 

FAQ: General Formula of benzene and diacetylene

1. What is the general formula of benzene?

The general formula of benzene is C6H6. This means that each molecule of benzene contains 6 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms.

2. What is the structure of benzene?

Benzene has a unique structure known as a cyclic or ring structure. It consists of 6 carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal ring with alternating single and double bonds.

3. What is the general formula of diacetylene?

The general formula of diacetylene is C4H2. This means that each molecule of diacetylene contains 4 carbon atoms and 2 hydrogen atoms.

4. How does the structure of diacetylene differ from benzene?

Diacetylene also has a ring structure, but it only contains 4 carbon atoms and has triple bonds between each of the atoms. This makes it a much more reactive molecule than benzene.

5. What are the properties of benzene and diacetylene?

Benzene is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor and is highly flammable. It is used as a solvent and in the production of plastics, rubbers, and other chemicals. Diacetylene is a colorless gas with a sharp odor and is also highly flammable. It is used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals.
