In the reforming process, n-octane is converted to 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. What is the change in the number of primary carbons between these two isomers?
Q1. In the reforming process, n-octane is converted to 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. What is the change in the number of primary carbons between these two isomers?
Answer: 3
Explanation: Iso-octane has five primary carbons while n-octane has two. 1 is wrong, misidentifying the number of terminal methyl groups.
