Respuesta :
C12H26 would be the correct formula for an alliance the contains 26 hydrogen atoms.
The formula for an alkane that contains 26 hydrogen atoms is C₁₂H₂₆.
What are alkanes?
Alkanes are the organic compounds which are formed by the combination of carbon and hydrogen atoms in which only single bonds are present.
General formula of alkanes is CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, where
- n is the number of carbon atoms.
In the question it is given that in the alkane 26 hydrogens are present and from the empirical formula of alkane we can calculate the value of n on the basis of hydrogen atoms as:
26 = 2n + 2
2n = 24
n = 12
Number of carbons are 12.
Hence required formula of alkane is C₁₂H₂₆.
