What would be the molecular formula for an alkane with 43 carbons?

Well... It seems to be C43H88 which is TRITETRACONTANE.Hope this helped!


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 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.


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.


Is Octane is seven carbon linear alkane?

No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.


What is the name of the alkane having 5 carbons?

pentane


What Has at least 1 double bond between carbons?

alkane


If a molecule has 6 carbons and 12 hydrogens is it an alkane alkene or alkyne?

C6H12 may be an alkene or cycloalkane because both have the same general formula CnH2n .


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 substance containing carbon?

hydro carbons like alkane alkene and akyne


What is formula for alkane?

any alkane consists of a string of carbon molecules with covalent SINGLE bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are then single bonded to two hydrogen atoms each, and the carbon atoms on the end of the chain that are only bonded to one other carbon atom each get 3 hydrogens. so an alkane with 2 carbons gets 6 hydrogen, an alkane with 3 carbons gets 8, an alkane with 4 carbons gets 10, etc. So the formula is CnH2n+2. This means if you have 'n' carbon atoms in the alkane, you have 2n+2 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.
