Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 4
(a)
From the given,
Chemical formula of testosterone -
Number of hydrogen atoms in testosterone =
Number of carbon atoms in testosterone = 19
Number of hydrogen atoms in testosterone = 28
Number of oxygen atoms in testosterone = 2
Let’s calculate the number of carbon atoms present in testosterone which contains hydrogen atoms.
Therefore, testosterone contains carbon atoms.
