This question is about hydrocarbons. A hydrocarbon has the formula C15H32\text{C}_{15}\text{H}_{32}C15H32.
How many atoms are there in one molecule of C15H32\text{C}_{15}\text{H}_{32}C15H32?
What is the general formula of the homologous series to which C15H32\text{C}_{15}\text{H}_{32}C15H32 belongs?
The hydrocarbon C15H32\text{C}_{15}\text{H}_{32}C15H32 can be cracked to produce one molecule of nonane (C9H20\text{C}_9\text{H}_{20}C9H20) and three molecules of another compound, YYY. Complete the carbon and hydrogen balance to find the molecular formula of YYY in the reaction: C15H32→C9H20+3Y\text{C}_{15}\text{H}_{32} \rightarrow \text{C}_9\text{H}_{20} + 3 YC15H32→C9H20+3Y
