Answer:
The IUPAC name of the compound has already been given which is 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane.
Explanation:
The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is an authority in chemistry that provides a guideline and standardized methods in the naming of compounds formed from the periodic table.
In order the give an IUPAC name to a compound, certain steps needs to be followed, these includes:
--> Identify the functional group in the compound as this will form the suffix. For example if the functional group is an alkane the suffix will be -ane.
--> Identify the longest carbon chain (it may not be a straight chain) that contains the functional group. This forms the prefix. Example: if the longest carbon chain is 7 carbon atoms then the prefix will be hept-
--> All the carbons of the longest chain should be numbered
--> Identify branched groups on the chain and name them according to the number of carbon atoms. They usually end with -yl.
--> Finally, combine the elements of the name is a single word.
The structural formula of the IUPAC compound can be found in the attached file for a better understanding. The branched groups are circled.
Answer:
C. Its oxidation number increases.
Explanation:
- <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
- Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
- When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
- For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>

Answer:
the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the mass flow rate.
Explanation:
There is an elementary equation from basic thermodynamics that states that the rate of heat transfer (Q) equals the mass flow rate (M) times a Constant (the specific heat of water) times the Delta T (fluid temp out minus fluid temp in): Q = M x C x Delta T In other words, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the mass flow rate.
The direction of energy flow in simple food chain is always sun=> plants( producers)=> primary consumers=> secondary consumers=> tertiary consumers, than finally after death of an organism, to decomposers
