Answer:

n = 5.

Explanation:

How many carbon atoms in total in this straight-chain hydrocarbon?

The prefix of the IUPAC name of a hydrocarbon (the part before -ane) shows the number of carbon atoms on the longest carbon chain.

\begin{array}{c|c}\text{Number of Carbon}\\ \text{atoms in backbone} & \text{Prefix}\\[-0.5em]\multicolumn{2}{c}{\rule{5cm}{0.5pt}}\\1& \text{meth-} \\ 2&\text{eth-} \\ 3&\text{prop-}\\4 & \text{but-}\\5 & \text{pent-} \\ 6 & \text{hex-} \\ 7 & \text{hept-} \\8 & \text{oct-}\\ \dots & \dots\end{array}.

  • Name of this hydrocarbon: heptane;
  • Prefix: hept-;
  • Number of carbon atoms in the longest chain: 7.

Hence the structure:

\text{CH}_3\text{-CH}_2\text{-CH}_2\text{-CH}_2\text{-CH}_2\text{-CH}_2\text{-CH}_3.

All the \text{-CH}_2\text{-} in the formula might look redundant. "\text{CH}_2" appears five times in a row and may be condensed into (\text{CH}_2)_5. Hence the condensed formula:

\text{CH}_3\text{-}{(\text{CH}_2)_{\bf5}\text{-CH}_3.

Therefore n = 5.

The following five beakers, each containing a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl, also known as table salt), were found on a lab
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

1)  100. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (3.3M)

2)  100. mL of 3.00 M NaCl solution (3 M)

3) 150. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (2.2 M)

4)  Number 1 and 5 have the same concentration (1.5M)

MW of NaCl = 23 + 36 = 59 g

For number 3

          59 g ------------------- 1 mol

           19,5 g -----------------   x

  x = 19.5 x 1/59 = 0.33 mol

Molarity (M) = 0.33 mol/0.150 l = 2.2 M

For number 4,

Molarity (M) = 0.33mol/0.10 l = 3.3 M

For number 5

Molarity (M) = 0.450/0.3 = 1.5 M

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The answer is B. Van der Waals forces are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds.

Explanation:

In general, if we arrange these molecular forces from the strongest to weakest, it would be like this:

Covalent bonds > Ionic bonds > Hydrogen bonds > Dipole-Dipole Interactions > Van der Waals forces

Covalent bonds are known to have the strongest and most stable bonds since they go deep and into the inter-molecular state. A diamond is an example of a compound with this characteristic bond.

Ionic bonds are the next strongest molecular bond following covalent bonds. This is due to the protons and electrons causing an electro-static force which results to the strong bonds. An example would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl), which when separated is Na⁺ and Cl⁻.

Van der Waals forces, also known as Dispersion forces, are the weakest type of molecular bonds. They are only formed through residual molecular attractions when molecules pass by each other. It doesn't even last long due to the uneven electron dispersion. It can be made stronger by adding more electrons in the molecule. This kind of molecular bonds appear in non-polar molecules such as carbon dioxide.
