What is the number of moles of ' C ' and ' H ' atoms respectively present in n mole molecule represented by…

- 6n and 6n
- 6n and 8n
- 8n and 8n
- 7n and 9n
Solution
The molecular structure of styrene consists of a benzene ring bonded to a vinyl group.
A benzene ring attached as a substituent contributes 6 carbon atoms and 5 hydrogen atoms, while the vinyl group $\mathrm{-CH=CH_2}$ contributes 2 carbon atoms and 3 hydrogen atoms.
Total carbon atoms: $6 + 2 = 8$
Total hydrogen atoms: $5 + 3 = 8$
The molecular formula is $\mathrm{C8H8}$.
For $n$ moles of styrene molecules, the number of moles of carbon atoms is $8 \times n = 8n$, and the number of moles of hydrogen atoms is $8 \times n = 8n$.
Final answer: $\boxed{\text{C}}$
