Answer:

3–methyl–2–butanol

Explanation:

To name the compound, we must:

1. Identify the functional group.

2. Give the functional group of the compound the lowest possible count.

3. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

4. Identify the substituent group attached.

5. Give the substituent group the lowest possible count.

6. Combine the above to get the name of the compound.

Now, let us obtain the name of the compound.

1. The functional group of the compound is Alcohol i.e —OH.

2. The functional group is located at carbon 2.

3. The longest continuous carbon chain is carbon 4 i.e butane. But the presence of the functional group i.e OH will replace the –e in butane with –ol. Therefore, the compound is butanol.

4. The substituent group attached is methyl i.e CH3.

5. The substituent group is located at carbon 3.

6. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

3–methyl–2–butanol.

I'm looking at the barometer in my lab as I type this question. It says the pressure is 968 torr. What is this pressure expresse

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1.27 atm.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Pressure (P) in torr = 968 torr

Pressure (P) in atm =...?

Thus, we can convert from torr to atm by doing the following:

Recall:

760 torr = 1 atm

Therefore,

968 torr = 968/760 = 1.27 atm

Therefore, 968 torr is equivalent to 1.27 atm.

The total pressure of a confined mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures of each of the gases in the mixture. This is known

olganol [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is also known as the Dalton’s law of partial pressure. Given a confinement that contains a mixture of gases which do not mix, the total pressure equals the sum of the individual pressures.

The term, which do not mix is necessary because, if the gases are the type that mix, the law will no longer hold as they would have given up their individual identities and hence their individual partial pressure cannot be use to access them anymore.

Hence, the law helps to sum the totality of the pressures of a number of gases which exists together in a confinement and they do not mix. Say we have 3 gases A, B and C. The total pressure is the sum of pressure A, pressure B and pressure C.

The pressure of a fixed mass of gas is increased from 100 kPa to 600 kPa at a constant temperature. The new volume of the gas is

Dima020 [189]

Answer: The new volume of the gas is smaller.

Explanation:

Volume and pressure are inversely proportional (as one goes up, one goes down). So as you increase the pressure, you decrease the volume.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 83.7% carbon and 16.3% hydrogen?

zubka84 [21]

Hello!

We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)

C: 83.7% = 83,7 g
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g

Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:

$C: \dfrac{83.7\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{12\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} \approx 6.975\:mol$

$H: \dfrac{16.3\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{1\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} = 16.3\:mol$

We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:

$C: \dfrac{6.975}{6.975} = 1$

$H: \dfrac{16.3}{6.975} \approx 2.3$

Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:
</span>
$\boxed{\boxed{C_3H_7}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I hope this helps. =)
