Identify the correct alkane name for the molecular formula C30H62
Correct answer: C. Triacontane
- A. Propdecane
- B. Eicosane
- C. Triacontane
- D. Dodecane
Explanation
Triacontane is the correct alkane name for the molecular formula C30H62 because it follows the general formula for alkanes, CnH2n+2. The other options, such as Propdecane, Eicosane, and Dodecane, do not match the molecular formula provided.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
