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.

A 420 mL sample of a 0.100 M formate buffer, pH 3.75, is treated with 7 mL of 1.00 M KOH. What is the pH following this addition

Art [367]

Answer: The pH of the resulting solution will be 3.60

Explanation:

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume}}$ ......(1)

We are given:

Molarity of formic acid = 0.100 M

Molarity of potassium formate = 0.100 M

Volume of solution = 420 mL = 0.420 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of formic acid}=(0.100mol/L\times 0.420L)=0.0420mol$

$\text{Moles of potassium formate}=(0.100mol/L\times 0.420L)=0.042mol$

Molarity of KOH = 1.00 M

Volume of solution = 7 mL = 0.007 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of KOH}=(1mol/L\times 0.007L)=0.007mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of formic acid and KOH follows:

$HCOOH+KOH\rightleftharpoons HCOOK+H_2O$

I: 0.042 0.007 0.042

C: -0.007 -0.007 +0.007

E: 0.035 - 0.049

Volume of solution = [420 + 7] = 427 mL = 0.427 L

To calculate the pH of the acidic buffer, the equation for Henderson-Hasselbalch is used:

$pH=pK_a+ \log \frac{\text{[conjugate base]}}{\text{[acid]}}$ .......(2)

Given values:

$[HCOOK]=\frac{0.049}{0.427}$

$[HCOOH]=\frac{0.035}{0.427}$

$pK_a=3.75$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$pH=3.75-\log \frac{(0.049/0.427)}{(0.035/0.427)}\\\\pH=3.75-0.146\\\\pH=3.60$

Hence, the pH of the resulting solution will be 3.60

Calculate the mass of water produced when 1.36 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Mass of water produced= 1.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water produced = ?

Mass of butane = 1.36 g

Mass of oxygen = excess

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₄H₁₀ +13 O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Number of moles of butane:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 1.36 g/ 58.12 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

Now we will compare the moles of butane with water.

C₄H₁₀ : H₂O

2 : 10

0.02 : 10/2×0.02 = 0.1 mol

Mass of water produced:

Mass = molar mass × molar mass

Mass = 0.1 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 1.8 g

This ether, C4H8O, can be produced by slow distillation from an acidic solution of 1,4-butanediol, HOCH2CH2CH2CH2OH. It gives a

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Tetrahydrofuran

Explanation:

Since the compound tested negative for C-C double bond, it must be a cyclic ether. Cyclic ethers have the oxygen atom attached to a ring. It is important to note that in a cyclic compound, one carbon atom is only bonded to two hydrogen atoms. Hence there are four carbon atoms in the compound, eight hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This corresponds to the structure of tetrahydrofuran. Its structure is shown in the image attached.
