Pentane

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The physical state of alkanes depends on the number of carbon atoms in the chain. Alkanes with $C_1$ to $C_4$ (methane to butane) are gases at room temperature. Alkanes with $C_5$ to $C_{17}$ (pentane to heptadecane) are liquids at room temperature. Since pentane has $5$ carbon atoms $(C_5H_{12})$,it is a liquid at room temperature.

Which of the following hydrocarbons will be in a liquid state at room temperature?
