Chapter 10, Problem 10.31UKC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of hydrogen atom present in a straight-chain alkane having 31 carbon atoms has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The general molecular formula of alkanes is given as CnH2n+2.  Alkanes are saturated compounds and forms single bond.

Students have asked these similar questions
Both olives and the leaves of olive trees contain alkanes with long carbon chains. A predominant alkane in olives has 27 carbons, whereas a major alkane component in olive leaves has 31 carbons. What is the molecular formula of each of these alkanes?
Alkanes are hydrocarbons containing only single bonds. Acyclic alkanes have carbon atoms arranged in chains, whereas cycloalkanes have carbon atoms arranged in one or more rings. How many hydrogen atoms are in an acyclic alkane with 6 carbon atoms?
What is the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon that contains 5 carbons, one ring, and one bond?
