Answer:
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
Explanation:
General formula for alkanes
[tex]C _{n}H _{2n + 2}[/tex]
since H = 6
[tex]2n + 2 = 6 \\ 2n = 4 \\ n = 2 \\ since \: x = n\\ \therefore \: x = 2[/tex]
Answer:
x=2
Explanation:
Because alkanes have a general formula of CnH(2n+2).
We known that 2n+2=6, so we solve for n.
2n+2=6
2n=4
n=2
Thus, there are 2 carbon atoms.
