Answer : The correct option is, 2-ethylpentane

Explanation :

The IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes are :

First 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.
The numbering is done in such a way that first carbon of double bond gets the lowest number.
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.

Hence, the name for given compound will be, 2-ethylpentane and the structure are shown below.

Problem page what kind of intermolecular forces act between a dichlorine monoxide molecule and a hydrogen bromide molecule?

marta [7]

Dichlorine monoxide has the same structure like that of water. So, this is a polar molecule. For polar molecules, the dominant intermolecular force would be dipole-dipole forces. For HBr, there is a force between two oppositely charged ions, H⁺ and Br⁻. So, the dominant intermolecular force is electrostatic attraction.

The molar mass of H2O is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. What mass of H2O, ins grams, must react to produce 50

Ivan

Answer:

56.28 g

Explanation:

First change the grams of oxygen to moles.

(50.00 g)/(32.00 g/mol) = 1.5625 mol O₂

You have to use stoichiometry for the next part. Looking at the equation, you can see that for every 2 moles of H₂O, 1 mole of O₂ is produced. Convert from moles of O₂ to moles of H₂O using this relation.

(1.5625 mol O₂) × (2 mol H₂O/1 mol O₂) = 3.125 mol H₂O

Now convert moles of H₂O to grams.

(3.125 mol) × (18.01 g/mol) = 56.28125 g

Convert to significant figures.

56.28125 ≈ 56.28

How does hydrogen bonding affect water molecules

ruslelena [56]

Since the oxygen likes to hog all the electrons, it gives the hydrogen molecules a slight positive charge and the itself a slightly negative charge.
Positive attracts negative, so there is some sort of attraction between water molecules, though a weak one.
