(CH3)2-CH-CH2-O(CH3)3IUPAC NAME
1 answer:
Answer:
1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane
Note: there is a mistake in formula, the correct formula is (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O-C(CH₃)₃ not (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O(CH₃)₃, because oxygen is a divalent compound.
Explanation:
<em>Structural formula is attached</em>
IUPAC naming rules
1. start numbering the chain from the functional group. In this compound we start from oxygen side.
2. Here we can see that at position 1 there is an oxy group along with a tertiary carbon having three methyl groups. So we write it as 1-tert-butoxy. Which means that there is a methoxy group at position 1 along with a tertiary carbon.
3. At position 2 we can see that there is a methyl group attached to the main chain, so we write it as 2-methyl.
4. Now we count the total number of carbons in the main chain. As we can see that there are 3 carbons in the remaining or parent chain, so we write it as propane
5. So the IUPAC name of the compound will be 1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane

<u>Answer:</u> The mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399
<u>Explanation:</u>
Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and its mass number.
The equation used to calculate mass defect follows:
where,
= number of protons
= mass of one proton
= number of neutrons
= mass of one neutron
M = mass number of element
We are given:
An isotope of phosphorus which is
Number of protons = atomic number = 15
Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 31 - 15 = 16
Mass of proton = 1.00728 amu
Mass of neutron = 1.00866 amu
Mass number of phosphorus = 30.973765 amu
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399
