How many hydrogen atoms are present in an alkane that contains 22 carbon atoms?Group of answer choices 4638 404442

Alkanes are hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2. This means that for every carbon atom in an alkane, there are two hydrogen atoms plus two additional hydrogen atoms.

Given that the alkane in question contains 22 carbon atoms, we can calculate the number of hydrogen atoms as follows:

Step 1: Multiply the number of carbon atoms by 2. 22 * 2 = 44

Step 2: Add 2 to the result from step 1. 44 + 2 = 46

Therefore, an alkane that contains 22 carbon atoms will have 46 hydrogen atoms.
