What is the number of moles of secondary carbon atoms in $\mathrm{n}$ mole isopentane?

What is the number of moles of secondary carbon atoms in $\mathrm{n}$ mole isopentane?
  1. $4 n$
  2. $3 \mathrm{n}$
  3. $2 \mathrm{n}$
  4. $\mathrm{n}$

Solution

1 molecule of isopentane has 1 secondary carbon atom. $\therefore \quad 1 \mathrm{~mol}$ isopentane $=1 \mathrm{~mol}$ secondary carbon atoms $\therefore \quad \mathrm{n}$ mol isopentane $=\mathrm{n}$ mol secondary carbon atoms
