the correct IUPAC name of the compound is 1-Butanal.

<h3>What are IUPAC names?</h3>

It is a system of naming organic compounds based on the longest carbon-to-carbon single bonds. It does not matter whether these longest chains are continuous or in a ring.

Thus, when the compound with the chemical formula, CH3-CH2-CH2CHO is considered. The longest carbon-to-carbon chain is 4. The 1st carbon carries a functional group known as an aldehyde.

Aldehydes are equipped with the carbonyl group and have the general formula R−CH=O. They are also sometimes referred to as formyl.

Aldehydes are named after their parent alkane chains with a slight modification. The 'e' is replaced with 'al'

The aldehyde in this case has four carbons. This means that the parent alkane is Butane. Therefore, the name of the compound will be 1-Butanal.

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?

Answer:

<u>You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.</u>

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

<u />

<u>1. Number of moles, n</u>

$n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol$

<u />

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.
