What is the general formula of alkanes ?...

What is the general formula of alkanes ? Identify the alkanes from the following:
`CH_(4),C_(2)H_(2),C_(2)H_(6),C_(3)H_(6),C_(3)H_(8)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The general formula of alkenes is `C_(n)H_(2n+2)` where, n is the number of carbon atoms. Out of the above given hydrocarbons `CH_(4),C_(2)H_(6)` and `C_(3)H_(8)`, are alkenes (because they correspond to the general formula `C_(n)H_(2n+2)` with n=1,n= 2 and n=3, respectively).
