Chapter 1, Problem 17Q
Hydrocarbons are important fuels that we burn primarily for energy.
- a. What is a hydrocarbon?
- b. Rank the following hydrocarbons by the number of carbons they contain from smallest to largest: pentane, ethane, octane, hexane, propane.
- c. We suggested “mother eats peanut butter” as a memory aid for the names of the first four hydrocarbons by number of carbon atoms. Propose a new one that includes pent-, the prefix that indicates five carbon atoms.
