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.

What concentrations of acetic acid (pKa = 4.76) and acetate would be required to prepare a 0.15 M buffer solution at pH 5.0? Not

Leni [432]

Answer:

Acetic acid 0,055M and acetate 0,095M.

Explanation:

It is possible to prepare a 0,15M buffer of acetic acid/acetate at pH 5,0 using Henderson-Hasselblach formula, thus:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻]/[HA] -Where A⁻ is acetate ion and HA is acetic acid-

Replacing:

5,0 = 4,76 + log₁₀ [A⁻]/[HA]

1,7378 = [A⁻]/[HA] (1)

As concentration of buffer is 0,15M, it is possible to write:

[A⁻] + [HA] = 0,15M (2)

Replacing (1) in (2):

1,7378[HA] + [HA] = 0,15M

2,7378[HA] = 0,15M

[HA] = 0,055M

Thus, [A⁻] = 0,095M

That means you need acetic acid 0,055M and acetate 0,095M to obtain the buffer you need.

i hope it helps!

What is an element considered a pure substance?

Alona [7]

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.

Which phrases describe clastic sedimentary rocks? Check all that apply.

Romashka [77]

Explanation:

A clastic sedimentary rock is a rock that is formed from pre-existing rock materials and minerals. This materials have been transported to their new positions by the agents of denudation.

Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of rock fragments predominantly.
The matrix is usually remnants of other rocks.
A cementing material can form between clasts and holds them in place. Cements are usually iron oxides, calcite e.t.c.
These rock types are usually formed from mechanincal weathering of rocks
Mechanical weathering breaks down rocks into chunks.
Examples are breccia, conglomerates, e.t.c.

A plant release it’s seed , but soon there after, the area seeds are in experiences a yearlong drought. How would the seeds most

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Plants will absorb water through their roots and release water as vapor into the air through these stomata. To survive in drought conditions, plants need to decrease transpiration to limit their water loss. Some plants that live in dry conditions have evolved to have smaller leaves and therefore fewer stomata.

Neptunium-237 was the first isotope of a transuranium element to be discovered. the decay constant is /s. what is the half-life

kari74 [83]

The half-life in years of Neptunium-237 which was the first isotope is 2.1 $10^{6}$ years.

Neptunium is most stable and Neptunium-237 is undergoes alpha decay, it means Neptunium-237 is decays by the emission of alpha particles . Seven alpha particles is emitted during decay of Neptunium-237. Neptunium-237 is radioactive actinide elements and first transuranium element.

The transuranium synthesis process involves creating a transuranium element through the transmutation process . The transmutation process is the process of creating heavy elements from light elements. Hence the process is the transmutation of light elements. There are two types: artificial and natural transmutation.
