Answer : The formula for each of the following is:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Explanation :
- Alkanes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with single covalent bonds.
The general formula of alkanes is where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkane.
- Alkenes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with double covalent bonds.
The general formula of alkenes is where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkene.
- Alkynes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with triple covalent bonds.
The general formula of alkynes is where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkyne.
(a) An alkane with 22 carbon atoms
Putting n = 22 in the general formula of alkane, we get the formula of alkane as, or
(b) An alkene with 17 carbon atoms
Putting n = 17 in the general formula of alkene, we get the formula of alkene as, or
(c) An alkyne with 13 carbon atoms
Putting n = 13 in the general formula of alkyne, we get the formula of alkyne as, or
