need to use a function to calibrate the weight of a alkan.

Create a MATLAB function called molalkan. It should have one parameter containing the number of carbon atoms in the alkane molecule. It should have one value that is the number of grams that 1 mole of this molecule weighs. For example, if I want to know how many grams of 1 mole propane is, I can go to the command window and use it

1 mol CnH2n+2 weights 12,01n + 1,008(2n+2) gram. where n is an variable

@kjetil Svihus: its great that you have homework. What have you tried so far?

Hi Kjetil Svihus

This is John BG <mailto:[e-mail] [e-mail]>

The function you ask for has already been implemented by Gerhard Nieuwenhuiys in

https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/10873-mole-package?s_tid=srchtitle

the description of the function mentions atoms.m that doesn't show in the list of functions, but atoms.m is actually included in the zipped pack.

I have attached Gerhard's solution to this answer for your convenience.

I do not see how this answers the question.

It does not answer, because a supplied tool will not have been written by the student, therefore is useless.
