Answer:

D. beginning numbering at the end farther from the first branch.

Explanation:

In naming alkanes, the longest continuous chain in the compound is first considered and this gives the name of the compound intended. The name of the substituent on the compound are also arranged in alphabetical order when naming the compound.

The carbon atoms are numbered in the parent chain or ring to indicate where branching or substitution takes place. The direction of numbering is chosen such that the lowest numbers possible is given to the branches or substituents. If we begin the numbering at the end farther from the first branch, we won't give the lowest numbers possible to the branches.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

\text{0.30 cm}^{3} \times \left (\dfrac{10^{-2}\text{ m}}{\text{1 cm}}\right )^{3} = 3.0 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^{3}  

Explanation:

0.030 cm³ × ? = x m³

You want to convert cubic centimetres to cubic metres, so you multiply the cubic centimetres by a conversion factor.

For example, you know that centi means "× 10⁻²", so  

1 cm = 10⁻² m

If we divide each side by 1 cm, we get 1 = (10⁻² m/1 cm).

If we divide each side by 10⁻² m, we get (1 cm/10⁻² m) = 1.

So, we can use either (10⁻² m/1 cm) or (1 cm/10⁻² m) as a conversion factor, because each fraction equals one.

We choose the former because it has the desired units on top.

The "cm" is cubed, so we must cube the conversion factor.

The calculation becomes

\text{0.30 cm}^{3} \times \left (\dfrac{10^{-2}\text{ m}}{\text{1 cm}}\right )^{3} = 0.30 \times 10^{-6}\text{ m}^{3} = \mathbf{3.0 \times 10^{-7}} \textbf{ m}^{\mathbf{3}}\\\\\textbf{0.30 cm}^{\mathbf{3}} \times \left (\dfrac{\mathbf{10^{-2}}\textbf{ m}}{\textbf{1 cm}}\right )^{\mathbf{3}} = \mathbf{3.0 \times 10^{-7}} \textbf{ m}^{\mathbf{3}}
