Answer:

Explanation:

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, that is, they are formed just by carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded through single covalent bonds. The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2.

If n = 25 (25 carbon atoms), 2n + 2 = 2 × 25 + 2 = 52. There are 52 hydrogen atoms in the structure and the alkane has the formula C₂₅H₅₂.
