Answer:

CH₃CH(CH₃)CH(C₃H₇)CH₂CH(CH₃)₂:

4-isopropyl-2-methylpentane.

Explanation:

Step One: Draw the structure formula of this compound. Parentheses in the formula indicate substitute groups that are connected to the carbon atom to the left.

For example, the first (CH₃) indicates that the second carbon atom from the left is connected to:

the CH₃- on the left-hand side,
the -CH(C₃H₇)CH₂CH(CH₃)₂ on the right-hand side,
a hydrogen atom, and
an additional CH₃- group that replaced one hydrogen atom.

Each carbon atom in this compound is connected to four other atoms. All bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds.

The C₃H₇ in the second pair of parentheses is the condensed form of CH₃CH₂CH₂-. See the first sketch attached. Groups in parentheses are highlighted.

Step Two: Find the carbon backbone. The backbone of a hydrocarbon is the longest chain of carbon atoms that runs through the compound. See the second sketch attached. The backbone of this compound consists of seven carbon atoms and is highlighted in green. The name for this backbone shall be heptane.

Step Three: Identify and name the substitute groups.

The two substitute groups are circled in blue in the second sketch.

The one on the right -CH₃ is a methyl group.
The one on the left is branched. $\begin{aligned}\text{CH}_3-&\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3\\[-0.5em]&\;|\end{aligned}$ This group can be formed by removing one hydrogen from the central carbon atom in propane. The name for this group is isopropyl.

Step Four: Number the atoms.

Isopropyl shall be placed before methyl. Start from the right end to minimize the index number on all substitute groups. The methyl group is on carbon number two and the isopropyl group on carbon number four. Hence the name:

4-isopropyl-2-methylheptane.

Answer:

Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one type of energy to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat. In addition to being convertible, according to the law of conservation of energy, energy is transferable to a different location or object, but it cannot be created or destroyed.

The energy in many of its forms may be used in natural processes, or to provide some service to society such as heating, refrigeration, lighting or performing mechanical work to operate machines. For example, to heat a home, the furnace burns fuel, whose chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy, which is then transferred to the home's air to raise its temperature.

Which of the following is a physical change?

vodka [1.7K]

Hello,
A physical change describes a change that does physically and does not display “chemical” signs which are signs that indicate a precipitate being formed, change in color, density, or producing gas, etc. “Tearing a piece of paper in half” is a physical change because like I said earlier it doesn’t show any chemical change signs. I hope this helps you out!
