Fischer - Tropsch synthesis involve the formation of alkanes by the combination of:
Correct answer: A. CO and H2
- A. CO and H2
- B. CO2 and H2
- C. C and H2
- D. All of these
Explanation
The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis involves the formation of alkanes by the combination of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2). This process is used to synthesize liquid hydrocarbons, particularly alkanes, from a mixture of CO and H2 gases. Therefore, option a is correct.

About Alkanes
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds, with the general formula CnH2n+2 for open chains. Their structure, isomerism, IUPAC nomenclature, physical properties, combustion, free-radical halogenation and conformations are covered, including the difference between substitution in alkanes and addition in unsaturated hydrocarbons.
