Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 2 April (Morning Shift)

One mole of an alkane (x) requires 8 mole oxygen for complete combustion. Sum of number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in the alkane (x) is .

Answer

17

Solution

Combustion of an alkane:

CnH2n+2 + ( 3n+12 )O2 nCO2 + (n+1)H2O

∵ 1 mol alkane needs 8 mol O2

⇒ 3n+12 = 8

⇒ 3n + 1 = 16 ⇒ n = 5

∴ Alkane x = C5H12 ⇒ C + H = 5 + 12 = 17

Answer: 17
