Explanation:
One is amplitude, which is the distance from the rest position of a wave to the top or bottom. Large amplitude waves contain more energy. The other is frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by each second. If more waves pass by, more energy is transferred each second.
We see in the given name of the hydrocarbon that the root word is pentane from 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. Pentane is a hydrocarbon chain that contains 5 carbon atoms. Therefore, the answer to this item is 5 carbons.

Question
</h2>
A sample of methane collected when the temp was 30 C and 760mmHg measures 398 mL. What would be the volume of the sample at -5 C and 616 mmHg pressure
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
434.32mL
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Using the combined gas law:
= k
Where;
P = Pressure
V = Volume
T = Temperature
k = constant.
It can be deduced that:
= = k ---------------------(i)
Where:
P₁ and P₂ are the initial and final pressures of the given gas
V₁ and V₂ are the initial and final volumes of the given gas
T₁ and T₂ are the initial and final temperatures of the gas.
<em>From the question:</em>
the gas is methane
P₁ = 760mmHg
P₂ = 616mmHg
V₁ = 398mL
V₂ = ?
T₁ = 30°C = (30 +273)K = 303K
T₂ = -5°C = (-5 +273)K = 268K
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
=
Solve for V₂
V₂ =
V₂ = 434.32mL
Therefore, the volume of the sample at -5C and 616mmHg pressure is 434.32mL
