What is the value of n in ch3(ch2)nch3 if the make of the hydrocarbon is heptane?

n = 5

Explanation:

methane => 1 Carbon => CH₃

ethane => 2 Carbons => C₂H₆

propane => 3 Carbons => C₃H₈

butane => 4 Carbons  => C₄H₁₀

pentane => 5 Carbons => C₅H₁₂

hexane => 6 Carbons => C₆H₁₄

heptane => 7 Carbons => C₇H₁₆ => CH₃(CH₂)₅CH₃

Octante => 8 Carbons => C₈H₁₈

Nonane => 9 Carbons => C₉H₂₀

Decane => 10 Carbons => C₁₀H₂₂

it should have an internal chamber and two thermometers sticking out of the top. the internal chamber will also be closed off from the outside.
