Answer: The name of the given hydrocarbon is hexane.

Explanation:

The given hydrocarbon has all the single bond between carbon and carbon atoms. Thus, this compound is considered as an alkane.

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.

Hence, the name for given hydrocarbon will be hexane.

Describe the temperature changes that occur in ice as energy is added, starting in the frozen state and ending in the vapor stat

Ket [755]

Explanation:

When water is frozen then it is known as ice and its state is solid. So, its molecules will be held closer to each other as they are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, its temperature will be minimum as its molecules have least kinetic energy.

It is known that kinetic energy of a substance is directly proportional to temperature.

As, K.E = $\frac{3}{2}kT$

where K.E = kinetic energy

T = temperature

k = boltzmann constant

When solid changes into liquid state then it means molecules of a substance has gained kinetic energy due to which there occurs more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature of substance also increases.

Whereas when liquid state of a substance changes intro vapor state then it means that more kinetic energy has gained by the molecules due to which there will be much more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature will be maximum in vapor state.

Which best explains why water has a much higher boiling point than would otherwise be predicted?

ikadub [295]

My guess is that water is a liquid and not a solid, or a gas. It can be heated by us or by the suns rays, which if done by the suns rays the water azorbs the light rising the temp to the point of boil which then makes the water evaporate into the air, and thus making cloud in the sky that we see all the time thus when the clouds become big enough it begins to rain. ( also called the water cycle)

The maximum depth of Lake Tahoe is 99.6 rod. How deep is Lake Tahoe in fathoms if one fathom-0.364 rod? ball part 250-300 fathom

Romashka [77]

Answer:

273.9 fathom

Explanation:

Fathom (ftm) and rod are the units of length used in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems.

Fathom is an unit used for the measurement of depth of water. It is equal to 1.8288 m.

Rod, also known as perch or pole, is equal to 5.0292 m.

∵ 1 fathom = 0.364 rod

and 1 rod = 2.75 fathom

∴ 99.6 rod = 99.6 × 2.75 fathom = 273.9 fathom

Therefore, maximum depth of Lake Tahoe = 99.6 rod = 273.9 fathom

The radiator in a car is filled with a solution of 60% antifreeze and 40% water. The manufacturer of the antifreeze suggests tha

lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.6 Liters of coolant should be drained and 0.6 Liter of water should be added.

Explanation:

Volume of the radiator = 3.6 L

Percentage of antifreeze = 60%

Total volume of anti freeze in radiator = 60% of 3.6 L :

$\frac{60}{100}\times 3.6 = 2.16 L$

Percentage of water= 40%

Given,optimal cooling of the engine is obtained with only 50% antifreeze.

So, now we want to reduce the percentage of antifreeze from 60% to 50 %

Volume of coolant removed = x

Volume of water added = x

Volume of anti freeze removed = 60% of(x) = 0.6x

Volume of antifreeze left in radiator =50% of 3.6 L = $\frac{50}{100}\times 3.6=1.8 L$

1.8 Liter is the desired volume of the antifreeze.

Total volume - Removed volume = desired volume

2.16 L - 60% of( x) = 1.8 L

$2.16 L-0.6x=1.8 L$

$x=\frac{2.16 l- 1.8 L}{0.6}=0.6 L$

0.6 Liters of coolant should be drained and 0.6 Liter of water should be added.
