C13H27
C13H27 represents a molecular formula. This formula indicates that a molecule contains 13 carbon atoms and 27 hydrogen atoms. This combination of atoms is characteristic of an alkane, which is a saturated hydrocarbon. Alkanes are organic compounds consisting entirely of single bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where 'n' is the number of carbon atoms. For n=13, the formula would be C13H2(13)+2 = C13H28. The formula C13H27 therefore does not represent a simple, saturated alkane.
Instead, C13H27 could represent various isomers of a hydrocarbon that has one degree of unsaturation or is
