    Molecular Formula of n-Pentane: A Simple Explanation (C₅H₁₂)
    The molecular formula for n-pentane is C₅H₁₂.

    Here's why:

    * n-pentane indicates a straight-chain alkane with five carbon atoms.

    * Alkanes have the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, where n is the number of carbon atoms.

    * Substituting 5 for n in the general formula, we get C₅H₁₂.
