Question

What is the number of constituents of an inert saturated hydrocarbon with a molecular mass of 72 g / mole?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we will derive the molecular formula.

Molecular formula of alkane is CnH2n+2

As molecular mass = 72,

12n + 2n + 2 = 72

n = 5

The alkane is C5H12. The possible chain isomers are
