The values of n in CH₃(CH₂)ₙCH₃ if the name of the hydrocarbon is heptane is equal to 5.
Hydrocarbonds are the compounds which are formed by the composition of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
In the question wanted hydrocarbon is heptane, in which 'hept' means 7 and 'ane' means alkane. Given formula of hydrocarbon is CH₃(CH₂)ₙCH₃ in which already 2 carbons of CH₃ group is present and to complete 7 carbons, the number of n should be 5.
So the required value of n is 5.
