<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

A solution contains one or more of the following ions: Ag+, Ca2+, and Co2+. Lithium bromide is added to the solution and no prec

olchik [2.2K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

#1. Ca²⁺

# 2. Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) → CaSO₄(s)

#3. 3Ag⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The question above concerns solubility of salts or ions in water.

The solution given contains Ag+, Ca2+, and Co2+ ions.

In the first case, when Lithium bromide is added to the solution, there is no white precipitate formed.
In the second case, the addition of Lithium sulfate results in the formation of a precipitate because of the Ca²⁺ in the solution combined with the SO₃²⁻ from lithium sulfate to form an insoluble CaSO₄.

The net ionic equation for the reaction is;

Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) → CaSO₄(s)

From the solubility rules, all sulfates are soluble except BaSO₄, CaSO₄, and PbSO₄.

In the third case, the addition of Lithium phosphate results in the formation of a precipitate because Ag⁺ ions in the solution combine with phosphate ions ( PO₄³⁻) from lithium phosphate to form an insoluble salt, Ag₃PO₄.

The net ionic equation for the reaction is;

3Ag⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s)

According to solubility rules, all phosphates are insoluble in water except Na₃PO₄, K₃PO₄, and (NH₄)₃PO₄.

Which statement is true about BF3, a nonpolar molecule? It has nonpolar bonds and a symmetrical structure. It has nonpolar bonds

konstantin123 [22]

I think the correct answer is the first option. It has nonpolar bonds and a symmetrical structure. The structure of a BF3 molecule shows a symmetrical trigonal geometry. The net dipole moment of the molecule is zero therefore it is polar.
