Name the following alkyne.<br> Please help me &lt;3
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

D. 7-methyl-3-octyne

Explanation:

1) Identify the parent chain and name it like an alkane.

• The longest chain of carbons, which consists of the functional group (which is the alkyne group in this case: C≡C).

• There are 8 carbons in the longest chain, so it is called an octane.

2) Now, identify the location of the functional group.

• The location number of the functional group should be as low as possible. Thus although we could count from the right, we start counting from the left since the functional group is closer to the left. From the left, the functional group would be at carbon 8 while from the left, it is on carbon 3.

• Replace 'ane' with 'yne' in octane for the alkyne group.

• This would give us 3-octyne.

3) Lastly, add in the name of the branch.

• Here we have one branch, -CH₃. This is read as methyl.

• Identify the location number of the branch by counting the number of carbons in the same direction as when we counted the location number of the functional group. The methyl branch has a location number of 7.

• Adding the name of the branch before the parent chain, we would arrive at 7-methyl-3-octyne as the IUPAC name of the alkyne.

Further Explanation:

A) This option is incorrect as there are only 8 carbons in the parent chain. Although there are 9 carbons in total, the 9th carbon is taken care of in '7-methyl'.

B) Location number of the functional group should be as low as possible, so start counting the number of carbons from the left!

C) Since the functional group is an alkyne, the word 'octane' should be 'octyne' instead.

How to make Sodium thiosulfate
Arada [10]

Explanation:

Method of prepration of sodium thiosulphate - definition

In the laboratory, this salt can be prepared by heating an aqueous solution of sodium sulphite with sulphur or by boiling aqueous NaOH and sulfur according to this equation:

6NaOH + 4 S _{2} Na _{2} S ->Na _{2} S_{2}O_{3}+ 3H _{2}O.

A mixture of compounds containing diethylamine, phenol, ammonia, and acetic acid is separated using liquid-liquid extraction as
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

I would expect to extract the acetic acid.

Explanation:

In the first step, since we are adding a concentrated acid,<u> it will react with the bases present in the mixture (diethylamine and ammonia) </u><u>forming salts</u><u>, </u><u>which are soluble in water</u>. Therefore, after draining the aqueous layer, we will have phenol and acetic acid left in the organic layer.

In the second step, we are adding a diluted base, so it will react with a strong acid. This compound is acetic acid, and its salt will be present in the aqueous layer. Phenol will be left on the organic layer.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: 2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s) + energy if 46 grams of na and 71 grams of cl2 r
igor_vitrenko [27]
Answer is: 2) 117g.
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
Step 1: calculate amount of substance of sodium and chlorine.
n(Na) = m(Na)÷M(Na) = 46g ÷ 23 g/mol = 2 mol.
n(Cl₂) = m(Cl₂)÷M(Cl₂) = 71g ÷ 71 g/mol = 1 mol.
Step 2: calculate amount of substance and mass of sodium-chloride.
Because both sodium and chlorine react completely, we can use both n to compare with n of NaCl.
n(Na) : n(NaCl) = 2:2, 2 mol : n(NaCl) = 2:2
n(NaCl) = 2mol, m(NaCl) = 2mol ·5805 g/mol = 117 g.
