Answer:
CH4
Explanation:
The number of moles of carbon and hydrogen has been given as follows:
C = 0.300 mol
H = 1.20 mol
Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.300)
C = 0.300 ÷ 0.300 = 1
H = 1.20 ÷ 0.300 = 4
The empirical ratio of Carbon and Hydrogen is 1:4, hence, the empirical formula is CH4
I believe it would weigh less if it’s blown up with helium because helium is lighter than air
Answer:
First of all, the equation is typed wrong so it can easily be misinterpreted
Ethane (CH4) + Oxygen gas (O2) would give us Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and WATER (H2O)
CH4 + 2O2 -----> CO2 + 2H2O
And this is a combustion reaction since we have oxygen as a reactant and carbon dioxide and water as products.
Answer:
5-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanol
Explanation:
There is no structure for the compound, but we can analyze the proposed options using the IUPAC rules to name organic compounds.
IUPAC rules state that to name an organic compound, first we have to identify the priorities for the functional groups present in the compound. <em><u>In this case, the priority functional group is the alcohol group</u></em>, <u><em>so we will start the counting of the carbons in this group.</em></u> Then, the counting of carbon atoms is followed by the next substituents so they have the lowest possible numbers, <em><u>in this case, we can assign the number 2 to the methyl group and 5 to the chloride group</u></em>, and name the compound in alphabetical order, using commas to separate the words from the numbers and with no space between the words.
Since the other options involve: <u>high countings for the susbtituents groups (</u><u>3</u><u>-chloro-</u><u>6</u><u>-methylcyclohexanol)</u>, <u>wrong assignation of priority functional group (</u><u>1-chloro</u><u>-4-methylcyclohexanol), wrong sequence of counting in the compound (</u><u>2-methyl-3-chloro</u><u>cyclohexanol) and no alphabetical order to name the compound (2-</u><u>methyl</u><u>-5-</u><u>chloro</u><u>cyclohexanol), </u><u>the correct option is:</u>
5-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanol
Have a nice day!
