C4H8 - alkene or alkane?
C4H8 may be an alkene, Butene or methyl propene and may be a cycloalkane, cyclobutane or methyl cyclopropane.
What is the molecular formula of the simplest alkane capable of having constitutional isomers?
C4H10 is the simplest alkane formula C2H4 is the simplest alkene formula
What is the molecular formula for a 18 carbon alkane?
This alkane is n-octadecane with the chemical formula C18H38.
Is C 250 H 502 an alkane a cyclic alkane an alkene a cyclic alkene or a cyclic alkyne?
C250H502 must be an alkane. The degree of unsaturation is 0, meaning there is only single bond present. Since ring structures have the general formula of C(n)H(2n), therefore it cant be a ring structure either.
What do ethane and ethanol have in common?
Ethane is an alkane with the chemical formula C2H6. Ethanol is an alcohol with the chemical formula C2H5OH, corresponding to ethane.
What is the general formula for straight chain alkane?
Methane (CH4)
Is the compound with the chemical formula C15H30 a member of the alkane series?
Alkanes have as general formula CnH2n+2 . C15H30 is therfore not an alkane it is an alkene (CnH2n) with one double bond.
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 name of c10h22?
C10H22 is the chemical formula for the hydrocarbon decane. It is an alkane as it follows the general formula CnH2n+2
What organic compound is an alkane?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2.
What is the chemical formula for an alkane with 10 carbon atoms?
For a straight-chain alkane, this would be C10H22 - decane. However, if this is a cyclic alkane, you would have C10H20 (cyclodecane). There are also numerous options for a branching alkane with various names and carbon to hydrogen ratios.
C4H8 - alkene or alkane?
C4H8 may be an alkene, Butene or methyl propene and may be a cycloalkane, cyclobutane or methyl cyclopropane.
What is the formula for alkane?
The generic formula for a non cyclic alkane is CxH(2x + 2).
What is the molecular formula of the simplest alkane capable of having constitutional isomers?
C4H10 is the simplest alkane formula C2H4 is the simplest alkene formula
What is the molecular formula for a 18 carbon alkane?
This alkane is n-octadecane with the chemical formula C18H38.
Pharmaceutical uses of alkane?
The pharmaceutical use of alkane is often used in general anesthesia. Alkane is a compound of halothane which is a general anesthetic agent.
Is C5H12 an alkane?
