Answer : The formula for each of the following is:
(a) [tex]C_{22}H_{46}[/tex]
(b) [tex]C_{17}H_{34}[/tex]
(c) [tex]C_{13}H_{24}[/tex]
Explanation :
The general formula of alkanes is [tex]C_n H_{2n+2}[/tex] where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkane.
The general formula of alkenes is [tex]C_n H_{2n}[/tex] where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkene.
The general formula of alkynes is [tex]C_n H_{2n-2}[/tex] 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, [tex]C_{22}H_{2(22)+2}[/tex] or [tex]C_{22}H_{46}[/tex]
(b) An alkene with 17 carbon atoms
Putting n = 17 in the general formula of alkene, we get the formula of alkene as, [tex]C_{17}H_{2(17)}[/tex] or [tex]C_{17}H_{34}[/tex]
(c) An alkyne with 13 carbon atoms
Putting n = 13 in the general formula of alkyne, we get the formula of alkyne as, [tex]C_{13}H_{2(13)-2}[/tex] or [tex]C_{13}H_{24}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\huge \boxed{{C_{22} H_{46} \ \ \ \ C_{17} H_{34} \ \ \ \ C_{13} H_{24}}}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]alkanes \ \Rightarrow \ C_n H_{2n+2}[/tex]
[tex]C_{22} H_{2(22)+2}[/tex]
[tex]C_{22} H_{44+2}[/tex]
[tex]C_{22} H_{46}[/tex]
[tex]alkenes \ \Rightarrow \ C_n H_{2n}[/tex]
[tex]C_{17} H_{2(17)}[/tex]
[tex]C_{17} H_{34}[/tex]
[tex]alkynes \ \Rightarrow \ C_n H_{2n-2}[/tex]
[tex]C_{13} H_{2(13)-2}[/tex]
[tex]C_{13} H_{26-2}[/tex]
[tex]C_{13} H_{24}[/tex]
