Express your answer as a chemical formula.Explanation / Answer
First, identify alkanes, they are on the LEFT side of the columns
then, notice that we must find a range of 20-30°C
nearest is 36.1°C which ensures this isliquid
this must be pentane
since it will boil a t30-39 °C ranges
therefore, smallest is "pentane"
