<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!

Professional gardeners often soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide before planting them. Why?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Professional gardeners often soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide before planting them in order to increase the germination percentage or to reduce germination failure. When the seeds are soaked in hydrogen peroxide, the seed coat becomes soft and enzymes present in the seed becomes active. Due to soaking of seeds, the seed takes less time to germinate. So that's why gardeners uses this method.
