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.

Answer: No reaction occurs

Explanation:.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

The given chemical equation is:

$Al(C_2H_3O_2)_3(aq)+3LiNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Al(NO_3)_3(aq)+3LiC_2H_3O_2(s)$
