Answer:

D) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

Explanation:

The rules for naming of alkanes with substituents.

1. The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain.

2.Numbering should be done in such a way that each substituent gets the least number.

3. Substituents whose name comes before the another substituents's name in the English alphabet is written first.

4. Substituents are written first with their location in the chain and the name of the parent chain is done. Numbers are separated from numbers by comma and numbers are separated from letters by using hyphen.

Considering (a) 3,6-dimethylheptane

<u>Violation of Rule - 2 mentioned above</u>

The numbering of the parent chain is not done in a right way. Numbering must be done such that each substituent gets the least number. So, The correct name is 2,5-dimethylheptane

Considering (b) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane

<u>Violation of Rule - 1 mentioned above.</u>

The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain. The parent chain selected is of 7 carbon atoms but the parent chain is of 8 carbon atoms. So, The correct name is 3,4-dimethyloctane

Considering (c) 5-methyl-3-ethylheptane

<u>Violation of Rule - 3 mentioned above.</u>

'e' comes before 'm' . So, ethyl- is written first than methyl- . So, The correct name is 3,6-dimethyloctane

Considering (d) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

<u>This is a IUPAC name and following all the rules mentioned above.</u>

✡ Answer: 1.23*10^2 ✡


- - Add a decimal at the end (to the right) and count till you get to the first number.
So now you have 1.23

- - Now you always want to times it by 10 to the power of how many times you moved it over, in this case, 2

Final answer: 1.23*10^2

HELP ASAP!!
Harman [31]
I would think it is a heterogeneous mixture since it can't be an element since there are more than one type of atom, it can't be a compound since the leaves are not bonded together, and it can not be a homogeneous mixture since the leaves don't all blended together (the pile is not uniform) and you can distinguish all the different parts of the mixture.  It can be considered a heterogeneous mixture since the leaves are mixed together (along with other things like dirt) in a non-uniform way so that you can point out the parts of the mixture and it does not look like one thing.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Determine the number of atoms of each element in the empirical formula of a compound with the following composition:
34kurt
To determine the empirical formula of the compound, we assume a basis of 100 g of this compound. We calculate as follows:

C = 68.75 g
H = 10.90 g
O = 20.35 g

We convert these mass to moles,
C = 68.75 g / 12.01 g/mol = 5.72 mol
H = 10.90 g / 1.01 g/mol = 10.79 mol
O = 20.35 g / 16 g/mol = 1.27 mol

C = 5.72 mol / 1.27 mol = 5
H = 10.79 mol / 1.27 mol = 8
O = 1.27 mol / 1.27 mol = 1

A student has 5 mL of 0.300 M (NH4)2CrO4 solution. What is the concentration of NH4+ in this solution?
koban [17]
From the given chemical formula or equation, it can be seen that for every molecule of the given chemical, there are 2 moles of NH4+ ions. Thus, to calculate for the concentration of the ion in the solution, we multiply 0.30M by 2 giving as an answer of 0.60M.
