Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the given molecule, there are five carbon atoms attached linearly to each other will single bonds only.

So, it is known that when a compound contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms attached single bondedly to each other then this type of hydrocarbon is known as alkane.

Their general formula is $C_{n}H_{2n+2}$ , where n is the number of carbon atoms present. Suffine "ane" is added to the name of alkane.

Thus, we can conclude that name of the given hydrocarbon is pentane.

1) Hydrocarbon: CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

2) Only single bonds => alkane => sufix ane

3) no substitutions

4) 5 carbons = > prefix penta.

Therefore, the name is pentane.

Choose whether the statements about oil sands are true or false. The viscosity of bitumen is about 100 times greater than the vi

Alexxx [7]

The First 2 statements stated above were false whereas the third one is a true statement.

Explanation:

The viscosity of bitumen is about 100 times greater than the viscosity of water - False

Reason - The viscosity of bitumen is about not 100 times greater than the viscosity of water, it is actually 100, 000 times greater.

Oil from oil sand deposits is only obtained by first heating the sands at high temperatures is False.

Reason- Oil from oil sand deposits is not obtained by first heating the sands at high temperatures but by using steams

Oil sands contain sand, water, and light crude oil is true.

A sample of H2 gas (2.0 L) at 3.5 atm was combined with 1.5 L of N2 gas at 2.6 atm pressure at a constant temperature of 25 °C i

Tamiku [17]

For this system, we use Dalton's law of partial pressures where the total pressure of a gas mixture is said to be equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gases. The partial pressure of each gas would be calculated by the product of the mole fraction and the original pressure of the gas. We do as follows:

Total pressure = x1P1 + x2P2
Total pressure = (2.0 / 7.0 )(3.5) + (1.5/7.0)(2.6)
Total pressure = 1.56 atm

Ksenya-84 [330]

Hello!

According to the Charles' Law, the volume of a gas is proportional to temperature when pressure is constant. When going from New York to Florida, if the pressure is left constant the volume of the tires will increase.

The final volume of the tires can be calculated from the following equation, derived from Charles' Law:

$V2= \frac{V1}{T1}*T2=\frac{10 L}{10degC}*32degC=32 L$

Have a nice day!
