<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

Carbon is the main constituent of hydrocarbons. Why some are called unsaturated hydrocarbon? Briefly describe.

maw [93]

Some hydrocarbons are regarded as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.

<h3>What are hydrocarbons?</h3>

Hydrocarbons are any organic compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon in its structure.

Hydrocarbons can be grouped into the following based on whether they contain single or double bonds:

Saturated hydrocarbons - contain only single bonds e.g. alkanes
Unsaturated hydrocarbons - contain double and triple bonds e.g. alkenes

Therefore, it can be said that some hydrocarbons are regarded as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.

A 8.00 L tank at 26.9 C is filled with 5.53 g of dinitrogen difluoride gas and 17.3 g of sulfur hexafluoride gas. You can assume

pshichka [43]

Answer:

mole fraction of N_2 O = 0.330

mole of fraction SF_4 = 0.669

PRESSURE OF N_2 O = 39127.053 Pa

pressure of SF_4 = 792126.36

Total pressure = 118253.413 Pa

Explanation:

Given data:

volume of tank 8 L

Weight of dinitrogen difluoride gas 5.53 g

weight of sulphur hexafluoride gas 17.3 g

Amount of $N_2 O = \frac{5.53}{14*2 + 16} = 0.1256 mol$

amount of $SF_4 = \frac{17.3}{32.1 + 19*4} = 0.254 mol$

mole fraction of $N_2 O = \frac{0.1256}{0.1256 + 0.254} = 0.330$

mole of fraction $SF_4 = \frac{0.254}{0.1256 + 0.254} = 0.669$

PV = nRT

P of N_2 O $= \frac{0.1256 *8.31 (273 + 26.9}{0.008} = 39127.053 Pa$

mole of SF_4 $=\frac{0.254 *8.31*(273+26.9)}{.008} = 79126.36 Pa$

Total pressure = 39127.053 + 79126.36 = 118253.413 Pa

Where does the formation of rocks began

bekas [8.4K]

Hi!

All rocks are connected in a cycle of creation, change, and destruction called the Rock Cycle. The rock cycle begins with molten rock (magma below ground, lava above ground), which cools and hardens to form igneous rock.

Hope this helps!

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following half-reactions occurs at the cathode during the electrolysis of aqueous

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The following reaction will occur at cathode:

$Ni^{+2}(aq)+2e--->Ni(s)$

Explanation:

The two half reaction during electrolysis of aqueous nickel sulfate will be

a) anode reaction :

Water will undergo oxidation and will evolve oxygen gas at anode as shown in the given reaction:

$2H_{2}O(l) ----> O_{2}(g) + 4H^{+}(aq) + 4e$

b) Cathode reaction: The reduction of Nickel ion will occur by gain of two electrons as shown in the given equation:

$Ni^{+2}(aq)+2e--->Ni(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be:

$2H_{2}O(l) + 2Ni^{+2}----> O_{2}(g) + 4H^{+}(aq) + 2Ni(s)$
