<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.
The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.
When lead nitrate is reacted with zinc metal, it leads to the formation of zinc nitrate and solid lead.
The chemical equation for the above reaction follows:
As, zinc lies above in the reactivity series than lead, so it will easily displace lead from its chemical reaction.
Hence, the chemical equation is written above.

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.
