Identify the molecular formula given: \(C_6H_6\).
Recall the formula for calculating the degree of unsaturation (DU), which is:
\(DU = \frac{2C + 2 - H}{2}\), where \(C\) is the number of carbons and \(H\) is the number of hydrogens.
Substitute the values from the molecular formula into the formula:
\(DU = \frac{2 \times 6 + 2 - 6}{2}\).
Simplify the numerator first:
\(2 \times 6 = 12\), so the numerator becomes \(12 + 2 - 6\).
Calculate the final DU by dividing the simplified numerator by 2:
\(DU = \frac{12 + 2 - 6}{2}\).
