A computer simulation tracks molecules of a single alkane. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2\mathrm{C_nH_{2n+2}}CnH2n+2.
The table shows the data recorded by the simulation.
| Number of alkane molecules | Total number of carbon atoms |
|---|---|
| 32 | 352 |
How many hydrogen atoms are present in all the alkane molecules?
