Answer: The correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane

Explanation:

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

When a fast moving particle runs into a slower moving particle what happens ?

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster-moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster-moving particle.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

different reactants

Explanation:

because if you think about it what's really thick and it takes a lot longer to burn a piece of paper is super fit material which can just tear real easily just by ripping it with your fingers so if you think about it how fast it burns it's not how big the molecules are because paper has smaller molecules than wood would so the paper burns faster in differently so it's probably the reactant it's made of

How many milligrams of product can be produced from the complete Diels-Alder reaction of 180. mg of anthracene and 100. mg of ma

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: It will be produced 276,3 mg of product

Explanation: The reaction of anthracene (C14H10) and maleic anhydride (C4H2O3) produce a compound named 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic anhydride (C18H12O3), as described below:

C14H10 + C4H2O3 → C18H12O3

The reaction is already balanced, which means to produce 1 mol of C18H12O3 is necessary 1 mol of anthracene and 1 mol of maleic anhydride.

1 mol of C14H10 equals 178,23 g. As it is used 180 mg of that reagent, we have 0,001 mol of anthracene. With it, the reaction produces 0,001 mol of C18H12O3.

As 1 mol of C18H12O3 equals 276,3 g, the mass produced is 276,3 mg.
