The reason your classmate cannot find the compound in a chemical reference manual is that 2,4-diethyl-4-ethoxyhexane is the inco
rrect name for the compound. What is the correct name
1 answer:
Answer:
3-ethoxy-3-ethyl-5-methylheptane
Explanation:
In this case, we have to identify the longest chain of carbon in this case the longest chain is made with 7 carbons. Then we have to assign carbon 1. In this case, carbon 1 is the one nearest to the ethoxy group. With this in mind, we will have a methyl on carbon 5, a methyl on carbon 3 and an ethoxy group in carbon 3, so the name would be 3-ethoxy-3-ethyl-5-methylheptane.
See figure 1
I hope it helps!

Answer:- 0.00724 moles.
Solution:- Grams of salicylic acid are given and it asks to calculate the moles.
For the moles, we divide the grams by the molar mass.
Formula of salicylic acid is
Molar mass = 7(12.01)+6(1.01)+3(16.00)
= 84.07+6.06+48.00
= 138.13 gram per mol
We could make the dimensional analysis set up for showing unit cancellation and have the moles.
= 0.00724 moles
So, there will be 0.00724 moles of salicylic acid in it's 1.00 gram.
