A student who stresses too much about his grades has incorrectly named an organic compound 3-propylhexane.

Answer:

None of these.

The correct answer should be, 4-ethylheptane.

Explanation:

In naming Alkanes, the general rules apply:

I. Identify the longest continuous carbon chain and name it as the root or parent name.

II. Identify any side chains and add their names and positions as a prefix to the parent chain.

III. When there are more than one type of side chain, name them alphabetically.

IV. Use hyphens between numbers and letters and commas between numbers.

V. Number your side chains to obtain the lowest number combinations possible.

For the above question,

first, attempt drawing only the carbon skeleton, of 3-propylhexane thus,

C-C-C-C-C-C

|

C-C-C

The longest continuous carbon chain (numbering from the top right) is 7 carbon atoms, hence, parent or root name is heptane. The 2 carbon atoms (at top left) not numbered make up the alkyl group called ethyl and since they are attached to carbon number 4 of the numbered carbon atoms ( whether the numbering is from top right to bottom right or vice versa ), their position and name should be written as a prefix to the parent name. That is why the organic compound is named, 4-ethylheptane.

Please note that in drawing the carbon skeleton of 3-propylhexane, the name is the same even if you start placing the bottom 3 carbon atoms on the 3rd carbon (top) from the left or from the right because the numbering can start from any side to achieve the lowest number combinations of numbering common Alkanes.

What molality of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte solute is needed to raise the boiling point of water by 7.10°c (kb = 0.520°c/m)?
faltersainse [42]
According to boiling point elevation equation:
Δ T = i Kb m
when ΔT (change in boiling point) = 7.10 C° 
and i (van't Hoff factor)= 1
and Kb = 0.520
so, by substitution:
7.10 = 1*0.520 *m
m = 7.1 / 0.52 = 13.65 m

Explain in your own words the interplay of temperature (heat) and intermolecular forces and the effect of these two variables on
DochEvi [55]

The forces between particles are called intermolecular forces. A strong intermolecular force means that the particles are tightly paced and is associated with the solid phase. Moderate intermolecular force is associated with the liquid state and little to no intermolecular force is associated with the gaseous state. Temperature has a direct effect on the state of matter in which the substance exists has. Generally speaking, a rise in tempreature changes a substance from the solid to liquid phase and from liquid to gaseus phase. The reverse is true, if the temperature lowers then the substance will go from gas to liquid and liquid to solid. It is important to not that temperature affects intermolecular forces. As the temperature increases then the individual particles become excited and gain enough energy to over the intermolecular forces and so the particles seperate from each other.

4) Which indicator, when added to a solution, changes color from yellow to blue as the pH of the
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

c) bromthymol blue

Explanation:

An acidic solution has a pH value less than 7, while the pH is 7 for a neutral solution and grater than 7 for a basic solution.

Bromothymol blue is a pH indicator which is yellow in color when placed in an acid (pH under 7), the color is green in a neutral solution (pH of 7) and blue in an basic solution (pH over 7).

If bromthymol blue is added to a solution with an initial pH of 5.5 (acidic), the color would be yellow and as the pH changes to 8 (basic), the color changes to blue.

COMPLETE<br> How many grams of CaCl2 are in 250 mL of 2.0 M CaCl2?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

There are 55, 49 g of CaCl2

Explanation:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of CaCl2:

Weight CaCl2=Weight Ca + 2x(Weight Cl)= 40,08g+ 2x 35, 45g=110,98 g/mol

1000ml-----2 mol of CaCl2

250ml------x= (250 ml x 2 mol of CaCl2)/1000ml= 0,5 mol of CaCl2

1mol -----110,98g

0,5mol ---x= (0,5molx110,98g)/1 mol= <em>55,49 g</em>
