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.

Which of the following is a primary cause of LO/TO accidents?

Marianna [84]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is

A) Regular operation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Even those workplaces that have established LO/TO processes face challenges, including: Lack of specific procedures written for each piece of equipment identifying all energy sources and energy isolation devices. Lack of comprehensive safety training for everyone in the workplace. Incorrect tag use.

So, regular operation is the primary cause of LO/TO accidents.

At one point in the Bike Trip described in the passage, you traveled 1 kilometer in 0.1 hours. What was your speed during that t

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

v = 10 km/h

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Distance traveled in the Bike Trip (d): 1 km

Time elapsed in the Bike Trip (t): 0.1 h

Step 2: Calculate the speed in the Bike Trip

The speed (v) is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. We will use the following mathematical expression.

v = d/t

v = 1 km/0.1 h

v = 10 km/h

The speed is 10 kilometers per hour.

With reference to He-4 (or the diagram), explain the term isotopes.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Isotopes are basically atoms of an element that have an unequal number of neutrons and protons. Of course the proton number remains the same, but the neutron number either decreases or increases, which leads to an overall change in mass. However, no chemical properties of the atom/element are changed as the electrons are the same number and do not react. In regards to Helium 4, the original number of neutrons in Helium is 2, and protons 2 as well. We see an equal number of neutrons and protons, hence an unchanged mass, and the element is <em>not</em> an isotope.

EXPLAIN how to identify the reducing agent in a reaction of magnesium with oxygen

Alina [70]

Explanation:

Mg+O>MgO

Here the mg loses it electron and is oxidised and oxygen gains and is reduced.

Mg(2+)and O(2-)

Mg is a reducing agent it makes oxygen to be reduced while itself being oxidised and vice versa.
