Q
Q: Which of the following is an alkane?
Solution:
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2. C4H10 (butane) fits this formula.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what an alkane is. Alkanes are a type of hydrocarbon that only have single bonds between carbon atoms.
Step 2: Know the general formula for alkanes, which is CnH2n+2. This means for every 'n' carbon atoms, there are '2n+2' hydrogen atoms.
Step 3: Identify the given compound, which is C4H10. Here, 'C4' means there are 4 carbon atoms.
Step 4: Calculate the number of hydrogen atoms using the formula. For n=4, the number of hydrogen atoms should be 2(4)+2 = 10.
Step 5: Compare the calculated number of hydrogen atoms (10) with the given compound (C4H10). They match, which means C4H10 is an alkane.
