Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In this question, we have to follow the IUPAC rules. Lets analyze each compound:

a. 1-methylbutane

In this compound we have a chain of 5 carbons, so the correct name is Pentane.

b. 1,1,3-trimethylhexane

In this compound, we longest chain is made of 7 carbons, so, we have to use the name "heptane". Carbon one would be the closet one to the methyl group, so the correct name is 2,4-dimethylheptane.

c. 5-octyne

In this case, carbon 1 would be the closet one to the triplet bond. With this in mind, the correct name is oct-3-yne.

d. 2-ethyl-1-propanol

In this compound, we longest chain is made of 4 carbons, so, we have to use the name "butane". Carbon one would be the carbon with the "OH" group, so the correct name is 2-methylbutan-1-ol.

e. 2.2-dimethyl-3-butanol

In this case, carbon 1 would be the closet one to the "OH". With this in mind, the correct name is 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Answer:

Combination and redox

Explanation:

8Zn(s) + S8(s) → 8ZnS(s)

This is a combination (synthesis) reaction because two elements are combining to form a compound.

It is also an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction, because the oxidation number of Zn increases from 0 in the metal to +2 in the compound (oxidation), while the oxidation number of S decreases form 0 in the element to -2 in ZnS (reduction).

Some of the many types of reaction are:

combination
decomposition
single decomposition
reduction
oxidation
reduction-oxidation
precipitation

In which time period did alchemists attempt to change less valuable metals into gold? 8000 BC – 1000 BC 1000 BC – 450 BC 300 BC

SSSSS [86.1K]

Time Period 3 (300 BC to 1400 AD)

The alchemists were in pursuit of 2 ideals. First, alchemy came about from the belief that cheap metals can be transmuted to gold using the legendary substance Philosopher's Stone for the conversion. These views were greatly influenced by Aristotle. Thus, from 300 BC to 1400 AD, alchemists worked to make the conversion of cheap metals to gold a reality. However, it never succeeded.

After this, the second ideal that the alchemists were in pursuit of was the concoction of an elixir of life to enable people to live longer and cure all ailments. This took place in the 1500s up to the end of the 1600s. Just like the pursuit of the first ideal, efforts to succeed in the second one all led to failure.

When potassium hydroxide and barium chloride react, potassium chloride and barium hydroxide are formed. The balanced equation fo

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter C.

Explanation:

Reaction

Potassium hydroxide = KOH

Barium chloride = BaCl₂

Potassium chloride = KCl

Barium hydroxide = Ba(OH)₂

KOH + BaCl₂ ⇒ KCl + Ba(OH)₂

Reactant Elements Products

1 K 1

1 Ba 1

2 Cl 1

1 H 2

1 O 2

The reaction is unbalanced

2KOH + BaCl₂ ⇒ 2KCl + Ba(OH)₂

Reactant Elements Products

2 K 2

1 Ba 1

2 Cl 2

2 H 2

2 O 2

Now, the reaction is balanced

What is the Law of the Conservation of Mass

Fantom [35]

Answer: law of conservation of matter states that mass in an isolated system can neither be created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformation.

thus, the mass of the reactants in a reaction must be equal to the mass of the products
