Answer:

2–methyl–2–propanol.

Explanation:

To name the compound given in the question above, we must:

1. Identify the functional group and it's location on the compound.

2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.

4. Locate the position of the substituent group.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Thus, we can obtain the name of the compound as follow:

1. The functional group of the compound is alkanol (alcohol). It is located at carbon 2.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 3. Since the compound is an alcohol, parent name of the compound will change from propane to propanol.

3. The substituent group attached to the compound is methyl i.e –CH3.

4. The methyl group is located at carbon 2.

5. The name of the compound is

2–methyl–2–propanol.

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of Na3PO4

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

83.20 g of Na3PO4

Explanation:

1 mole of Na3PO4 contains 3 moles of Na+.

Mole of Na ion to be prepared = Molarity x volume

= 0.700 x 725/1000

= 0.5075 mole

If 1 mole of Na3PO4 contains 3 moles of Na ion, then 0.5075 Na ion will be contained in:

0.5075/3 x 1 = 0.1692 mole of Na3PO4

mole of Na3PO4 = mass/molar mass = 0.1692

Hence, mass of Na3PO4 = 0.1692 x molar mass

= 0.1692 x 163.94

= 83.20 g.

83.20 g of Na3PO4 will be needed.

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible

Goryan [66]

Answer:
<span>The molecules of a substance which must have the <u>a</u></span><u>bility to move past one another</u> are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.
