Answer:

Chemical reactivity increases down a group and decreases from left to right of a period.

Explanation:

The higher the ionization energy is, the lower the reactivity is. Since the ionization energy is highest in the top right corner of the periodic table, we can assume that the most reactive elements are in the opposite bottom left corner. This is because the electrons that react are farther away from the nucleus thus experience less attraction to the nucleus (called nuclear shielding). Therefore their electrons are more easily removed than elements that don't ecperience nuclear shielding.

Which of the following is an acceptable IUPAC name?(A) 3,6-dimethylheptane (B) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane (C) 5-methyl-3-ethylhepta

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

D) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

Explanation:

The rules for naming of alkanes with substituents.

1. The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain.

2.Numbering should be done in such a way that each substituent gets the least number.

3. Substituents whose name comes before the another substituents's name in the English alphabet is written first.

4. Substituents are written first with their location in the chain and the name of the parent chain is done. Numbers are separated from numbers by comma and numbers are separated from letters by using hyphen.

Considering (a) 3,6-dimethylheptane

Violation of Rule - 2 mentioned above

The numbering of the parent chain is not done in a right way. Numbering must be done such that each substituent gets the least number. So, The correct name is 2,5-dimethylheptane

Considering (b) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane

Violation of Rule - 1 mentioned above.

The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain. The parent chain selected is of 7 carbon atoms but the parent chain is of 8 carbon atoms. So, The correct name is 3,4-dimethyloctane

Considering (c) 5-methyl-3-ethylheptane

Violation of Rule - 3 mentioned above.

'e' comes before 'm' . So, ethyl- is written first than methyl- . So, The correct name is 3,6-dimethyloctane

Considering (d) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

This is a IUPAC name and following all the rules mentioned above.

What is the pressure inside a 750 mL can of deodorant that starts at 15 degrees Celsius and 1.0 atm if the temperature is raised

Sonbull [250]

The answer is: the pressure inside a can of deodorant is 1.28 atm.

Gay-Lussac's Law: the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂.

p₁ = 1.0 atm.; initial pressure

T₁ = 15°C = 288.15 K; initial temperature.

T₂ = 95°C = 368.15 K, final temperature

p₂ = ?; final presure.

1.0 atm/288.15 K = p₂/368.15 K.

1.0 atm · 368.15 K = 288.15 K · p₂.

p₂ = 368.15 atm·K ÷ 288.15 K.

p₂ = 1.28 atm.

As the temperature goes up, the pressure also goes up and vice-versa.
