Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The total number of hydrogen present in the alkane in tobacco leaves having 31 carbon atoms must be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Answer to Problem 23P
A number of hydrogen in the straight-chain alkane present in tobacco leaves is 64.
Explanation of Solution
As per the general formula of a straight-chain alkane is
Substituting the value of n as 31 in the formula:
Thus, the number of hydrogen present
The number of hydrogen in the alkane is 64.
