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

Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is heated until all the water is driven off. The sample loses 11.80 grams upon heating. What was
iren [92.7K]
Hello!

The initial mass of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is 23,08 g

The chemical reaction for the dehydrating of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is the following:

MgSO₄·7H₂O(s) + Δ → MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)

We know that the sample loses 11,80 g upon heating. That mass is the mass of Water that is released as vapor. Knowing that piece of information, we can apply the following conversion factor to go from the mass of water to the moles of water and back to the mass of the original compound (mi).

mi=11,80gH_2O* \frac{1 mol H_2O}{18gH_2O}* \frac{1molMgSO_4.7H_2O}{7molH_2O}* \frac{246,47 g MgSO_4.7H_2O}{1 mol MgSO_4.7H_2O}  \\  \\ mi=23,08gMgSO_4.7H_2O

Have a nice day!
