Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
A. A pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom
Answer:
After the ejection of an alpha particle, the remaining nucleus has a mass number that is four less and an atomic number that is two less, so alpha decay is a type of nuclear fission.
The balanced chemical reaction is :

Number of moles of Na,
.
Now, from balance chemical reaction we can see that 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 4 moles of sodium.
So, number of moles of oxygen are :

So, amount of oxygen required is :

Therefore, 5.08 gram of oxygen will react with 14.6 gram of sodium.
