Why is 1-methylhexane not a legitimate name for a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Thepotemich [5.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

It is not a legitimate chemical name because the methyl group on carbon 1 increases the length of the carbon chain to seven carbon atoms thus making the parent compound heptane

Explanation:

Chemical compounds are named according to rules in the IUPAC nomenclature.

In naming organic compounds, parts of rules is to find out the parent or root compound. This is determined by finding out the longest carbon chain and then checking if it contains single or multiple bonds.  (that is if it is an alkane- with single bonds, alkene-with double bonds or an alkyne- with triple bonds)

From the question the parent or root name is an alkane containing 6 (Hex-) carbon atoms, while the methyl group is  substituent

(CH₃)-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH-CH₃

However the alkyl substituent on carbon 1 increases the the length of the carbon chain to 7 (Hept-) instead of 6. Hence the correct IUPAC nomenclature is heptane and not 1-methylhexane.

Answer:

C₃H₄O₄

Explanation:

In order to get the empirical formula of a compound, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Divide the percent by mass of each element by its atomic mass.

C: 34.6/12.01 = 2.88

H: 3.9/1.01 = 3.86

O: 61.5/16.00 = 3.84

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one, i.e., 2.88

C: 2.88/2.88 = 1

H: 3.86/2.88 ≈ 1.34

O: 3.84/2.88 ≈ 1.33

Step 3: Multiply all the numbers by a number that makes all of them integer

C: 1 × 3 = 3

H: 1.34 × 3 = 4

O: 1.33 × 3 = 4

The empirical formula is C₃H₄O₄.

When 20.0 g of KI are dissolved in 50.0 mL of distilled water in a calorimeter, the temperature drops from 24.0 °C to 19.0 °C. C
Reil [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>8.67kJ/mol</em>

<h2>Explanations</h2>

The formula for calculating the amount of heat absorbed by the water is given as:

\begin{gathered} q=mc\triangle t \\ q=50\times4.18\frac{J}{g^oC}\times(19-24) \\ q=50\times4.18\times(-5) \\ q=-1045Joules \\ q=-1.045kJ \end{gathered}

Determine the moles of KI

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of KI}=\frac{mass\text{ of KI}}{molar\text{ mass of KI}} \\ moles\text{ of KI}=\frac{20g}{166g\text{/mol}} \\ moles\text{ of KI}=0.1205moles \end{gathered}

Since heat is lost, hence the enthalpy change of the solution will be negative that is:

\begin{gathered} \triangle H=-q \\ \triangle H=-(-1.045kJ) \\ \triangle H=1.045kJ \end{gathered}

Determine the enthalpy of solution in kJ•mol-1

\begin{gathered} \triangle H_{diss}=\frac{1.045kJ}{0.1205mole} \\ \triangle H_{diss}\approx8.67kJmol^{-1} \end{gathered}

Hence the enthalpy of solution in kJ•mol-1 for KI is 8.67kJ/mol
