<u>Answer:</u> The name of the given hydrocarbon is hexane.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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.

Explain how the solubility of water is useful in maintaining various life processes.
Aneli [31]

Water is called a universal solvent because of its ability to dissolve different types of substances.

The basic unit of life is cell and a large portion of living cell (60%)  is made up of water, this is because cells need water to survive. Biochemical reactions are always ongoing in the living cells and water act as solvents under which these reactions occur. Because of the high solubility of water, it is able to dissolve various substances needed by the body, this makes it easy for the substance to participate in chemical reactions and to move from one point to another.  Without water biochemical reactions will not be able to occur in cells and this will lead to the death of the cells.
