Concept explainers
a. How many hydrogen does an
b. How many carbons does an
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of hydrogen atoms should be identified in the alkanes with 17 carbons.
Concept introduction:
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely prefix suffix and root word.
Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc.
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
Answer to Problem 1P
The number of hydrogens atoms in alkanes with 17 carbons are
Explanation of Solution
Analyzing for the statement (a):
Let us consider the following general molecular formula
There is 17 carbon atoms in an alkane
The numbers of hydrogen atoms are in (36)
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of carbon atoms should be identified in the alkanes with 74 hydrogens.
