Answer:

32 hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, that is, organic compounds formed just by carbon and hydrogen bonded through single covalent bonds.

The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2.

When n = 15, 2n+2 is 2 × 15 + 2 = 32. The resulting formula is C₁₅H₃₂, with 32 H atoms in each molecule.

A non cyclic alkane always has a number of hydrogen atoms equal to 2c + 2, where c is the number of carbon atoms. Therefore, hexadecane, an alkane with 15 carbon atoms, will have  32 hydrogen atoms.

Describe how Earth would be affected if it no longer got energy from the Sun.
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Fortunately, Earth retains heat fairly well, so humans wouldn't freeze instantly.  Without the Sun's rays, all photosynthesis on Earth would stop. All plants would die and, eventually, all animals that rely on plants for food — including humans — would die, too.
