Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the structural isomers of an alkane with a molecular mass of 72 g/mol, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Molecular Formula The general formula for alkanes is given by \( C_nH_{2n+2} \). Given that the molecular mass is 72 g/mol, we can set up the equation based on the molecular weights of carbon and hydrogen. 1. The atomic mass of carbon (C) is approximately 12 g/mol. 2. The atomic mass of hydrogen (H) is approximately 1 g/mol. ...
