Answer:

Explanation:

Since ice is less dense than water, it floats. This forms an ice cover sheet in cold regions such as in the poles. This insulates the water beneath from excessive heat loss hence preventing it from turning into ice too, This protects the marine life beneath. Also, water does not gain heat or loss it rapidly (due to its high heat capacity) hence offering a more or stable temperature range for marine life.

What is the IUPAC name of the following compound?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

(d) 3,7-dimethyl-4-nonyne.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the attached picture on which you can see that the main chain has nine carbon atoms, one tripe bond at the fourth carbon and two methyl radicals at the third and seventh carbons respectively, by following the IUPAC rules, the name would be: (d) 3,7-dimethyl-4-nonyne since the chain must start at the side closest to the first triple bond due to its priority and subsequently considering the present radicals.

Best regards.

Bromine, a liquid at room temperature has a boiling point of 58 degrees celsius and a melting point at -7.2 degree celsius bromi

ra1l [238]

Hello!

Bromine can be classified as a pure substance.

Why?

Bromine is an element with atomic number 35 on group 17 of the Periodic Table. That's the first sign that shows us that it is a pure substance.

But the fact that it has a clear and defined boiling and melting point is a sign that we are in the presence of a pure substance. Pure substances are characterized by defined boiling and melting points.

Mixtures usually have a range of temperatures in which they melt and boil.

Have a nice day!
