Suppose an alkane had 30 hydrogen atoms. how many carbon atoms would it have?
a.
15 atoms
c.
14 atoms
b.
62 atoms
d.
28 atoms

c.  14 atoms

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is and they are called as alkanes.

Given: An alkane contains 30 hydrogen atoms

Thus we can write:

Thus the number of carbon atoms will be n which is 14.

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
