Chapter 1, Problem 1.73EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Molecular formula for the given compound has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Molecular formula is a simple representation of the elements that are present in the compound with the information that how many atoms are present.  From the condensed structural formula the molecular formula can be found.

Molecular formula of the alkanes can be found by using the general formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n+2}}$.  Here, “n” denotes the number of carbon atoms that is present in the structure.
