How many carbon atoms does propane have?

Answer 1

there are 8 hydrogen atoms present in propane.

There is 8 hydrogen atoms in propane, Each carbon has a valency of 4, 4 bonds with other atoms. Hydrogen has valency of 1. the general formula for alkanes is CnH2n +2 (n means number of that atom.) so to find how many hydrogens there with, say, 50 carbons you would do CnH2n + 2= C50H102. :)

Answer 2

There are three carbons that's what makes it "pro-pane" and two hydrogens for each carbon except the ends which have three. Hydrocarbons are made of only carbons and hydrogens so you just know to use the right number of carbons and attach as many hydrogens as needed to complete the carbons.

C3 H 8

pro equals three (carbons)

Answer 3

I think there's 3 carbon and 8 hydrogen atoms, so there would be 11 atoms in all. Thanks for your concern. I hope this answer helps.:)

Answer 4

The chemical formula of propane is C3H8. Hence it has 3 carbon atoms, 8 Hydrogen atoms and a total of 11 atoms in a molecule of propane.

Answer 5

Propane, with the chemical formula C3H8, has 3 carbon atoms.

Answer 6

11. Propane is C3H8

Answer 7

There are 8 hydrogen atoms.

Answer 8

three carban atoms and 8 hdrogen atoms

Answer 9
