Based on the law of conservation of mass, which of the following statements is correct? Matter is neither created nor destroyed.

The first statement (Matter is neither created nor destroyed) is correct.

The second statement would violate the law of conservation of mass (I will refer to this as LCM), as it would mean matter can "flow" into the universe, but not out, meaning the total matter will never be less than it was before.

The third statement violates LCM because it means matter is created during a reaction, which is not true.

The last statement violates LCM because it means matter is lost during a reaction, which is not true.

Answer:

3-ethoxy-3-ethyl-5-methylheptane

Explanation:

In this case, we have to identify the longest chain of carbon in this case the longest chain is made with 7 carbons. Then we have to assign carbon 1. In this case, carbon 1 is the one nearest to the ethoxy group. With this in mind, we will have a methyl on carbon 5, a methyl on carbon 3 and an ethoxy group in carbon 3, so the name would be 3-ethoxy-3-ethyl-5-methylheptane.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Note that butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. Why does the number of possible isomers go up
iren [92.7K]
Because the number of constitutional, conformational, and geometric isomers goes up with each carbon atom added. There are many more possible configurations and connectivities possible with decane, a 10 carbon chain, than with butane, a 4 carbon chain.
