Since the temperature is constant, therefore, this problem can be solved based on Boyle's law.
Boyle's law states that: " At constant temperature, the pressure of a certain mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure".
This can be written as:
P1V1 = P2V2
where:
P1 is the initial pressure = 1 atm
V1 is the initial volume = 3.6 liters
P2 is the final pressure = 2.5 atm
V2 is the final volume that we need to calculate
Substitute with the givens in the above mentioned equation to get the final volume as follows:
P2V1 = P2V2
1(3.6) = 2.5V2
3.6 = 2.5V2
V2 = 3.6 / 2.5 = 1.44 liters
Answer:
(a) 3-ethylpentane (because the longest chain is 5 carbon atoms, and ethyl is positioned at the 3rd carbon atom)
(b) 1, 2-dimethylbutane (because two methyl is positioned at the 2nd and 3rd carbon atom)
(c) 3, 4-dimethylhexane (the longest chain here is 6 carbon atoms, and two methyl is positioned at the 3rd and 4rd carbon atom)
(d) 3-methyl 4-ethylhexane ( the longest chain is 6 carbon atoms, one methyl is positioned at the 3rd carbon atom while one ethyl is positioned at the 4rd carbon atom)
(e) and (f) are similar to the question before... and I dunno how to (g) and (h) cuz I haven't learned it
Hope that you are able to answer the rest!!
