Answer:
5-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanol
Explanation:
There is no structure for the compound, but we can analyze the proposed options using the IUPAC rules to name organic compounds.
IUPAC rules state that to name an organic compound, first we have to identify the priorities for the functional groups present in the compound. <em><u>In this case, the priority functional group is the alcohol group</u></em>, <u><em>so we will start the counting of the carbons in this group.</em></u> Then, the counting of carbon atoms is followed by the next substituents so they have the lowest possible numbers, <em><u>in this case, we can assign the number 2 to the methyl group and 5 to the chloride group</u></em>, and name the compound in alphabetical order, using commas to separate the words from the numbers and with no space between the words.
Since the other options involve: <u>high countings for the susbtituents groups (</u><u>3</u><u>-chloro-</u><u>6</u><u>-methylcyclohexanol)</u>, <u>wrong assignation of priority functional group (</u><u>1-chloro</u><u>-4-methylcyclohexanol), wrong sequence of counting in the compound (</u><u>2-methyl-3-chloro</u><u>cyclohexanol) and no alphabetical order to name the compound (2-</u><u>methyl</u><u>-5-</u><u>chloro</u><u>cyclohexanol), </u><u>the correct option is:</u>
5-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanol
Have a nice day!
It helps them figure out more in dept about education.
Just add up the molar masses of each element.
Molar mass of C: 12.011 g/mol
The equation says C20, which means there are 20 carbon atoms in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we multiply 12.011 by 20 to get 240.22 g/mol carbon.
Molar mass of H: 1.0079 g/mol
The equation says C30, which means there are 30 hydrogen atoms in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we multiply 1.0079 by 30 to get 30.237 g/mol hydrogen.
Molar mass of O: 15.999 g/mol
The equation says O without a number, which means there is only one oxygen atom in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we leave O at 15.999 g/mol.
Then, just add it up:
240.22 g/mol C + 30.237 g/mol H + 15.999 g/mol O = 286.456 g/mol C20H30O
So, the molar mass of Vitamin A, C20H30O, is approximately 286.5 g/mol.
