Interpretation: The number of hydrogen atoms in the saturated hydrocarbons that contain
Concept introduction: The aliphatic hydrocarbons that have only

Answer to Problem 4.1P
The number of
Explanation of Solution
The given hydrocarbons of sex pheromone are saturated acyclic alkanes.
The aliphatic hydrocarbons that have only
The general molecular formula of acyclic alkanes is
Where,
• n is an integer, that represents number of carbon atoms.
For the hydrocarbon of sex pheromone that contains
Substitute the value of number of carbon atoms
Thus, the molecular formula of hydrocarbon that contains
Hence, the number of hydrogen atoms is
For the hydrocarbon of sex pheromone that contains
