Q: What is the IUPAC name of the alkane with the formula C5H12?
Solution:
The alkane with the formula C5H12 is named Pentane.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the formula given, which is C5H12.
Step 2: Count the number of carbon (C) atoms in the formula. There are 5 carbon atoms.
Step 3: Recall that alkanes are hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH(2n+2).
Step 4: For n = 5 (since there are 5 carbon atoms), calculate the number of hydrogen atoms: 2(5) + 2 = 12. This matches the given formula C5H12.
Step 5: Use the naming convention for alkanes, where the prefix for 5 carbon atoms is 'pent'.
Step 6: Combine the prefix with the suffix '-ane' to indicate it is an alkane.
Step 7: Therefore, the IUPAC name for C5H12 is Pentane.
