<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. <em>18 hydrogen atoms </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Alkanes are group of hydrocarbon that are saturated</u></em>. They are saturated in the sense that each carbon atom has maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
  • <em><u>The homologous series of alkanes has a general formula of CₓH₂ₓ₊₂.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u><em> an alkane with 8 carbons will have; (2×8) +2 = 18 hydrogen atoms. </em></u>Thus, the formula of the hyrocarbon will be; C₈H₁₈.

In alkane, number of hydrogen atom = 2n + 2
Where, n = number of carbon atoms

So, it would be: 2(8)+2 = 16+2 = 18

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

How are endocytosis and exocytosis similar? how are they different?
suter [353]
Endocytosis and exocytosis are similar in that they are both forms of cell transport. They differ because in endocytosis, a cell transports molecules into a cell (think: endo - in), and in exocytosis, the cell's molecules are transported by being expelled.
