Calculate the number of hydrogens present in an alkane, containing 15 carbons atoms.
Open in App
Solution
The general formula of alkanes is CnH2n+2.
The molecular formula of an alkane with 15 carbon atoms will be:
n=15, so CnH2n+2 = C15H32.
Therefore, 32 hydrogen atoms are present in an alkane, containing 15 carbon atoms.
