Answer:

3-ethyl-2-methylhexane

Explanation:

The IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes are given as follows:

Select the longest possible carbon chain.
For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
A suffix '-ane' is added at the end of the name.
If two of more similar alkyl groups are present, then the words 'di', 'tri' 'tetra' and so on are used to specify the number of times these alkyl groups appear in the chain.
The numbers are separated by the comma and the number and the letter are separated by the hyphen.

Hence, the given name is:- 3ethyl2methylhexane

By using the last rule, the correct name is:-

3-ethyl-2-methylhexane

Which solution below yields the lowest final concentration of a sodium hydroxide solution prepared by diluting 50.00 mL of conce

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D. 1.33 L

Explanation:

Data

V1 = 50 ml

C1 = 19.3

To solve this problem use the formula C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

C2 = C1V1 / V2

C = concentration

V = volume

a) 1.15 L

C2 = (19.3)(50) / 1150

C2 = 0.84 M

b) No right answer

c) V2= 0.80 L

C2 = (19.3)(50) / 800

C2 = 1.2 M

d) V2 = 1.33 L

C2 = (19.3)(50) / 1330

C2 = 0.72 M

e) V2 = 350 ml

C2 = (19.3)(50) / 350

C2 = 2.75 M

Question 8 of 8> 0 Attempt 2 A chemist needs to determine the concentration of a sulfuric acid solution by titration with a s

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

12.29 M

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → 2Na⁺ + SO₄⁻² + 2H₂O

Now let's calculate the moles of H₂SO₄ that were titrated:

$0.1284 M * 0.1915L*\frac{1molAcid}{2molNaOH}$ = 0.01229 mol H₂SO₄.

Thus, the concentration of the diluted solution is:

0.01229 mol H₂SO₄ / 0.010 L = 1.229 M

Finally, the concentration of the original acid solution is:

$1.229 M*\frac{250mL}{25mL}$ = 12.29 M
