An alkane with 3 carbon atoms would have how many hydrogen atoms in the molecule?

The generic formula for an alkane is CnH(2n + 2).Therefore, an alkane with 3 carbon atoms would have 8 hydrogen atoms.

How many carbons atoms would be present in an alkane that contains 32 hydrogen atoms?
In an alkane the number of hydrogen atoms is two greater than twice the number of carbon atoms. If we reverse this rule, we find that the number of carbon atoms is one less than half the number of hydrogen atoms. 32/2=16 16-1=15 So our alkane would have 15 carbon atoms. This alkane would be pentadecane or one of its isomers.
If an acyclic alkane hydrocarbon contains n carbon atoms how many hydrogen atoms must it also contain?
Then the acyclic alkane hydrocarbon contains 2n+2 hydrogen atoms.
How many total hydrogen atoms would be in a five carbon noncyclical alkane?
Alkanes are CnH2n+2, so for 5 carbon alkane, n = 10+2 =12 or 12 hydrogen atoms. It would be like this..CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3
What is the formula for alkane?
The generic formula for a non cyclic alkane is CxH(2x + 2).
How many hydrogens are present on an alkane with 20 carbons?
An alkane with n carbon atoms has 2n + 2 hydrogen atoms.So, 42.
How many Hydrogen atoms are in an Alkane with 16 Carbon atoms?
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 16 carbon atoms, will have 34 hydrogen atoms.

If an acyclic alkane hydrocarbon contains n carbon atoms how many hydrogen atoms must it also contain?
Then the acyclic alkane hydrocarbon contains 2n+2 hydrogen atoms.
Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane have two more hydrogen atoms than a 4 carbon cyclic alkane?
octet rule
What is an alkane in which a halogen atom replaces one or more hydrogen atoms on a carbon chain?
halo alkane or alkyl halides
How many total hydrogen atoms would be in a five carbon noncyclical alkane?
Alkanes are CnH2n+2, so for 5 carbon alkane, n = 10+2 =12 or 12 hydrogen atoms. It would be like this..CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3
What is the formula for alkane?
The generic formula for a non cyclic alkane is CxH(2x + 2).
An alkane is defined by?
In Science an alkane is a paraffin, an organic compound and is a saturated hydrocarbon. Made up of only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
How many hydrogens are present on an alkane with 20 carbons?
An alkane with n carbon atoms has 2n + 2 hydrogen atoms.So, 42.
A molecule is said to be organic if it contains?
An organic molecule is a molecule and that contains carbon atoms that are connected to hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen atoms. Glucose has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms so it is organic.
How many hydrogen atoms are there in an alkane molecule with 10 carbon atoms?
Formula for alkanes:Number of H = 2 * number of C + 2So, using this formula, H = 2 * 10 + 2, which gives 22
When hydrogen is added to ch3ch2chchch3 the reaction is an?
... addition reaction; the hydrogen molecule is split, one of its atoms is added to each carbon atom that is initially double bonded, and an alkene becomes an alkane. --- ... known as hydrogenation.
