What would be the formula for an alkane which contains 30 hydrogen atoms? C__H30 16 18 14 15
2 answers:
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A hydrocarbon that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms attached through single bonds is known as an alkane.
General formula for alkanes is where n is any integer.
For example, a hydrocarbon with 30 hydrogen atoms will have the value of "n" as follows.
Total hydrogen atoms = 2n + 2
30 = 2n + 2
30 - 2 = 2n
n = 14
Therefore, number of carbon atoms in this hydrocarbon will be 14.
Hence, we can conclude that formula for an alkane which contains 30 hydrogen atoms is .

Solution:
Reduction potential of metal ions are provided below. Higher the value to reduction potential, greater is the tendency of metal to remain in reduced state.
In present case, reduction potential of Au is maximum, hence it is least prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is least reactive.
On other hand, reduction potential of Na is minimum, hence it is most prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is most reactive.
