Answer:

2,3,3-trimethyl-pentane [CH3CH(CH3)C(CH3)2CH2CH3]

Explanation:

Octane number is index of indicating anti- knock properties of a fuel in comparison with mixture of iso-octane and heptane . Octane no of pure

iso-octane is 100 and that of heptane is 0 . The higher the ratio of highly branched compound , greater the octane number. 2,3,3-trimethyl-pentane

is highly branched so it has higher octane number.

Product are favored at ...

example 2A + 3B = 5C + D if reaction is exothermic ....delta H = NEGATIVE)

A decrease in temperature favors the forward reaction (more product formed)
as heat is considered as a product

For the exam I have given: A decrease in pressure (volume increases as pressure decreases) .... there are more number of moles on the product side (6 in all) .....so according to LCP decreasing pressure will revert back to increase pressure and to do that equilibrium position shifts to the right (product)

decreasing concentration of product will cause a disturbance in equilibrium position....and reaction will restore its equilibrium by shifting to the right

(I believe its like this)

The cubic unit cell this metal crystallize as is BCC structure .

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell.

The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions.

The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions

$\rm \rho =\dfrac{nM}{N_{0} a^{3}} \\\\\\\\\rm n =\dfrac{\rho N_{0} a^{3}}{M} \\\\\\\\Assuming\; it \; to \; be \; a\; BCC\; structure \\\\\\ r = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} \times a}{4} \\\\\\Therefore\; a = 3.23 \times 10^{-8}\\\\\\\\\rm n =\dfrac{13.3 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\times 3.23^{3}\times (10^{-8})^{3}}{135} \\\\$
