We need to get the mole ratio between the elements. To do this, we will divide by the the smallest number of moles given as follows:
0.5 mole of Na / 0.5 = 1
0.5 mole of S / 0.5 = 1
0.75 mole of O / 0.5 = 3/2

Now, we need to get rid of the fractions. To do this, we will multiply all the ratios by 2:
Na = 1 x 2 = 2
S = 1 x 2 = 2
O = 3/2 x 2 = 3

So, in the simplest formula, the ratio Na:S:O is 2:2:3
This can be written as: Na2S2O3 which is known as sodium thiosulphate.

Answer: The IUPAC name of CH_3C\equiv CCH_2CH_2Cl is 5-chloro-2-pentyne

Explanation:

1. First 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.

2. The longest possible carbon chain should contain all the bonds and functional groups.

3. The numbering is done in such a way that the carbon containing the functional group or substituent gets the lowest number. Triple bond is given priority over substituent halogen.

4. The naming of alkane is done by adding the suffix -ane, alkene by adding the suffix -ene, alkyne.

Thus the IUPAC name of CH_3C\equiv CCH_2CH_2Cl is 5-chloro-2-pentyne

What is the missing value​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

72

Explanation:

The pattern here may be hard to find at first, but it's this: the number in the middle of the triangle = (number at lower left corner of triangle x number at upper vertex of triangle) + (number at upper vertex of triangle x number at lower right corner of triangle).

Thus, for the missing value...

Missing value = (3x8) + (8x6) = 24+48 = 72.

Could you tell me what concept in chemistry relates to this? I'm interested.

Also check out stylesben's answer. Seems like there's several ways of doing this.
