<u>Answer:</u> The correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane

<u>Explanation:</u>

The IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes are given as follows:

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.
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.

We are given:

An alkane having chemical name as 3-methyl-4-n-propylhexane. This will not be the correct name of the alkane because the longest possible carbon chain has 7 Carbon atoms, not 6 carbon atoms

The image of the given alkane is shown in the image below.

Hence, the correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane

Which of the following atoms has the largest atomic radius? Provide an explanation

trapecia [35]

Answer:

d Rubidium

Explanation:

The atomic radius of an atom is the distance from the center of the nucleus to its outermost electron.

The atomic radius of elements varies in the periodic table, it increases as you go down in a group and decreases along the period from left to right.

All the elements listed: Hydrogen, Sodium, Lithium and Rubidium belong to the same group in the periodic table (group 1), Since atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group, Rubidium has the largest atomic radius.

The question is incomplete, this is the complete question;

In the process of attempting to characterize a substance, a chemist makes the following observations. Which are physical properties and which are chemical properties?

(a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal.

(b) The substance melts at 649 ∘C

(d) The density of the substance at 20 ∘C is 1.738 g/cm³.

(e) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light.

(f) The substance reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid.

(g) The substance can be pounded into thin sheets or drawn into wires.

(h) The substance is a good conductor of electricity.

Answer:

(a) Physical

(b) Physical

(d) Physical

(e) Chemical

(f) Chemical

(g) Physical

(h) Physical

Explanation:

(a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal - is appearance which is physical.

(b) The substance melts at 649 ∘C metling point is a physical measurement

(d) The density of the substance at 20 ∘C is 1.738 g/cm3 how heavy a substance is,is physical.

(e) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light. Burning is a chemical change. It is a reaction of a substance with oxygen

(f) The substance reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid. This is a chemical reaction as the question says.

(g) The substance can be pounded into thin sheets or drawn into wires. Ductility is a physical change, the substance remains chemically unchanged

(h) The substance is a good conductor of electricity. Any conductivity is physical, the substance remains chemically unchanged

Balance the reaction for the combustion of pentane: ?C5H12+?O2→?CO2+?H2O Enter the four coefficients in order, separated by comm

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The four coefficients in order, separated by commas are 1, 8, 5, 6

Explanation:

We count the atoms in order to balance this combustion reaction. In combustion reactions, the products are always water and carbon dioxide.

C₅H₁₂ + ?O₂→ ?CO₂ + ?H₂O

We have 12 hydrogen in right side and we can balance with 6 in the left side. But the number of oxygen is odd. We add 2 in the right side, so we have 24 H, and in the product side we add a 12.

As we add 2 in the C₅H₁₂, we have 10 C, so we must add 10 to the CO₂ in the product side.

Let's count the oxygens: 20 from the CO₂ + 12 from the water = 32.

We add 16 in the reactant side. Balanced equation is:

2C₅H₁₂ + 16O₂→ 10CO₂ + 12H₂O

We also can divide by /2 in order to have the lowest stoichiometry

C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂→ 5CO₂ + 6H₂O
