Q: Which of the following compounds is an alkane?
Solution:
C4H10 is an alkane, as it follows the formula CnH2n+2, where n=4.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what an alkane is. An alkane is a type of hydrocarbon that only has single bonds between carbon atoms.
Step 2: Know the general formula for alkanes, which is CnH2n+2. Here, 'n' represents the number of carbon atoms.
Step 3: Identify the number of carbon atoms in the compound C4H10. In this case, n = 4 because there are 4 carbon atoms.
Step 4: Use the formula CnH2n+2 to calculate the number of hydrogen atoms for n = 4. This gives us H = 2(4) + 2 = 10.
Step 5: Compare the calculated number of hydrogen atoms (10) with the given compound C4H10. They match, confirming that C4H10 is an alkane.
