General formula of the homologous series...

General formula of the homologous series of alkanes is `C_(n)H_(2n+2)`. Write down the molecular formula of the `8^(th)` and `12^(th)` member using this.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

General formula = `C_(n)H_(2n+2)`
Molecular formula of `8^(th)` member = `C_(8)H_(2xx8+2=)(C_(8)H_(18))`
Molecular formula of `12^(th)` member = `C_(12)H_(2xx12+2=)C_(12)H_(26)`
