Answer : The name of the given hydrocarbon is, pentane.

Explanation :

The basic rules for naming of organic compounds are :

  • First select the longest possible carbon chain.
  • For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
  • A suffix '-ane' is added at the end of the name of alkane.
  • If two of more similar alkyl groups are present, then the words 'di', 'tri' 'tetra' and so on are used to specify the number of times these alkyl groups appear in the chain.

In the given hydrocarbon, the longest possible carbon chain number is 5 that means we add prefix 'pent' and suffix '-ane'. So, the name of given hydrocarbon will be, pentane.

Hence, the correct option is, pentane.

I believe it is pentane..Try that!


Hope it helps, sorry if it doesn't but that's the answer I just choose for my unit test on edgnty.

List the following bond types in order of increasing strength: non-polar covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, polar cova
ss7ja [257]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • An ionic bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms.

In an ionic bond, there occurs attraction between oppositely charged ions due to which there occurs strong forces of attraction between them. Therefore, ionic bonds are the strongest bonds.

  • A polar covalent bond is formed due to unequal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

For example, H_{2}O is a polar covalent compound. Partial opposite charges tend to develop on the atoms of a polar covalent compound.

  • A non-polar covalent bond is formed due to equal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

For example, Cl_{2} is a non-polar covalent molecule. No partial charges will be there on the atoms of a non-polar covalent molecule.

  • A hydrogen bond is defined as the bond formed between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.

For example, in HCl compound there occurs hydrogen bonding.

In this type of bond, dipole-dipole attractive interactions tend to take place. And, strength of hydrogen bonds is very weak.

Thus, we can conclude that given bond types are arranged in order of increasing strength as follows.

      Hydrogen bonds < non-polar covalent bonds < polar covalent bonds < ionic bonds

Which of the following BEST describes the process of evolution by natural selection?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B)  a gradual change of the traits of a species over time</em>

Explanation:

The theory of natural selection explains the gradual changes which occur in the population of a species over time. According to natural selection, those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment survive and pass on their traits to their offsprings. As a result, the traits of a species tend to change over time through the process of evolution. Evolutionary changes do not occur rapidly, instead, they can take many years to occur.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

                    1.8 moles of O₂

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation for said double replacement (photosynthesis) reaction is as follow;

                           6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

According to balance chemical equation,

                 6 moles of O₂ are produced by  =  6 moles of CO₂

So,

                1.8 moles of O₂ will be produced by  =  X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  1.8 mol × 6 mol / 6 mol

                     X =  1.8 moles of O₂

Stoichiometric problems in which moles are given and moles or other reactant or product asked are the simplest problems. One should only write the balanced chemical equation and perform above method to find the required moles.
