This question is about hydrocarbons. A hydrocarbon has the formula C16H34\text{C}_{16}\text{H}_{34}C16​H34​.

a.

How many atoms are there in one molecule of C16H34\text{C}_{16}\text{H}_{34}C16​H34​?

[1]
b.

What is the general formula of the homologous series to which C16H34\text{C}_{16}\text{H}_{34}C16​H34​ belongs?

[1]
c.

The hydrocarbon C16H34\text{C}_{16}\text{H}_{34}C16​H34​ can be cracked to produce one molecule of decane (C10H22\text{C}_{10}\text{H}_{22}C10​H22​) and two molecules of another compound, WWW. Complete the carbon and hydrogen balance to find the molecular formula of WWW in the reaction: C16H34→C10H22+2W\text{C}_{16}\text{H}_{34} \rightarrow \text{C}_{10}\text{H}_{22} + 2 WC16​H34​→C10​H22​+2W
