If the standard reduction potential of a half-cell is positive, the reduction reaction is spontaneous when paired with a hydrogen electrode
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The relative standard reduction potential of the half-cell in which reduction occurs; more positive than the other half-cell.
- If the standard reduction potential of a half-cell is positive, the reduction reaction is spontaneous when paired with a hydrogen electrode.
- The reduction is a chemical process in which electrons are added to an atom or an ion; it always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent.
- The reduction to happen the electrons gained by the material that is being decreased must be transported from the atoms of ions of a different material.
<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
Explanation:
Chromosomal DNA is packaged inside microscopic nuclei with the help of histones. These are positively-charged proteins that strongly adhere to negatively-charged DNA and form complexes called nucleosomes. Each nuclesome is composed of DNA wound 1.65 times around eight histone proteins.
