Question

Predict the number of Hydrogens for a hydrocarbon with 28 carbons

Answer 1

tH

Explanation:

`\begin{gathered} \text{The general molecular formula for alkane compound is given as} \\ C_nH_{2n\text{ + 2}} \\ \text{ Since the number of carbon atom is 28} \\ \text{let n = 28} \\ C_(28)H_{2(28)\text{ + 2}} \\ C_(28)H_{56\text{ + 2}} \\ C_(28)H_{58_{}} \\ \text{Hence, the number of hydrogen atoms for a hydrocarbon with 28 carbons is 58 hydrogens} \end{gathered}`
