The question provides: 0.0438 mol of an organic compound has a mass of 1.84 g, and asks what class the compound is likely to belong to.

First, compute the molar mass: mass / moles = 1.84 g / 0.0438 mol ≈ 41.96 g/mol, which is about 42 g/mol.

Option a: alkene. General formula for many alkenes is CnH2n. For n = 3, you get C3H6 with a molar mass of 3(12.01) + 6(1.008) ≈ 36.03 + 6.05 ≈ 42.08 g/mol. This matches the calculated ~42 g/mol, making an alkene a plausible identification.

Option b: amine. Amines have nitrogen in addition to carbon and hydrogen, with typical molar masses depending on substituents. A simple small amine like propylamine (C3H9N) has a molar mass around 57 g/mol, which is notably higher than 42 g/mol, making this a less likely match.

Option c: aromatic. Aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene (C6H6) have a molar mass of about 78 g/mol. Other substituents could vary, but achieving a molar mass near 42 g/mol with an aromatic framework is unlikely, since the smallest common aromatic unit is already around 78 g/mol.

Option d: alkane. Alkanes follow CnH2n+2. The smallest straightforward match near 42 g/mol would be C3H8 (propane) with a molar mass of about 44 g/mol. While 44 g/mol is close to 42 g/mol, it is still a bit higher than our calculated value, and the exact match to 42 g/mol aligns better with C3H6 (an alkene) than with an alkane.

In summary, the calculated molar mass points to a formula like C3H6, which is characteristic of an alkene, whereas the other classes would generally have notably different molar masses or structures that don’t fit the data as closely.
