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.

How many hydrogens are present on an alkane with 20 carbons?
An alkane with n carbon atoms has 2n + 2 hydrogen atoms.So, 42.
What is the formula for the alkane containing 100 hydrogens?
The alkane with 100 hydrogen would be C49H100.The 100 hydrogen will have 49 carbons attached.The carbons on the ends would have 3 hydrogen each so the hydrogen left are 94 so the Carbon in the chain can only have 2 hydrogen each.Therefore the no of hydrogen in between will have 47 carbons and two carbons on the end. 47+2 =49 carbons.
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.
What is the formula of an alkane with 16 carbons?
C16h34
What is the chemical formula for alkane which contains 125 carbon atoms?
The general formula of linear alkanes is CnH2n+2. If an alkane with 125 carbons exist (I don't know) the chemical formula will be C125H252 and the name pentacosehectane.

What does the hydrogenation of an alkene gives?
two atoms of hydrogen add to the carbons in a double bond of an alkene to form an alkane.
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.
Is Octane is seven carbon linear alkane?
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.

C16h34
What is the name of the alkane having 5 carbons?
pentane

What Has at least 1 double bond between carbons?
alkane
What is the condensed structural formula for an alkane with four carbon atoms?
C10H22 It is a chain of 7 carbons, with a branch on the 4th carbon, that branch is 3 carbons long.
Is acetylene a saturated hydrocarbon?
It is a saturated hydrocarbon. This because it contains the maximum number of hydrogen required to bind with the carbon atoms present in the compound
A substance containing carbon?
hydro carbons like alkane alkene and akyne
