Give the formula for the alkane containing 100 hydrogens.

The alkane containing 100 hydrogens will be

Explanation:

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

As given number of hydrogen atoms is 100, therefore the value of (2n+2) = 100

2n = 98

n = 49

Thus the formula for the alkane containing 100 hydrogens will be

tracks, burrows, eggshells, nests, tooth marks, or gastroliths
