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.

The specific heat of zinc is 0.39 J/g*°C. How much energy needed to change the temperature of 34g of zinc from 22°C to 57°C. Is

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

464.1 J absorbed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of zinc = 0.39 J/g°C

Mass of zinc = 34 g

Temperature changes = 22°C to 57°C

Energy absorbed or released = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 57°C - 22°C

ΔT = 35°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 34 g. 0.39 J/g°C. 35°C

Q = 464.1 J

A hydroelectric dam produces renewable energy for the local area. Which best explains why more hydroelectric dams are not built?

romanna [79]

Answer:

The dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem.

Explanation:

Though it is believed that using the dam as a power generation or hydroelectric power supply generates no greenhouse gases, it, however, has many disadvantages which make it deemed not suitable or sustainable for use in the contemporary time.

Majorly, the top reason why more hydroelectric dams are not built is that "the dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem."

Also, it affects the water quality and other use of water for humans such as recreational use.

There is also a possible chance of dams producing methane; a greenhouse gas through the organic materials in the water that is rotting.
