vovangra [49]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride

Explanation:

To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:

Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)

Cl = —1

Cu + 2(—1) = 0

Cu —2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 +2

Cu = +2

Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.

The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.

What is the molecule shown below?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

2,3–dimethylpentane

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall determine the name of the compound.

To obtain the name of the compound, do the following:

1. Determine the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

2. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.

3. Locate the position of the substituent group by giving it the lowest possible count.

4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, we shall determine the name of the compound as follow:

1. The longest continuous carbon chain is 5. Thus, the parent name of the compound is pentane.

2. The substituent group attached is methyl (–CH₃)

3. There are two methyl group attached to the compound. One is located at carbon 2 and the other at carbon 3.

4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

2,3–dimethylpentane

None of the options are correct.

We saw in the calorimeter experiment that the combustion of a fuel is exothermic. what can you then say about the formation of a
ankoles [38]

Answer:

This question appear incomplete

Explanation:

This question appear incomplete. However, fuel is formed through a natural phenomenon involving the conversion of large amount dead and decayed organisms (usually algae and zooplanktons) to combustible fuel through exposure to relatively high temperature and pressure (over millions of years) in the earth's crust. Thus, since this involves a sort of absorption of heat energy (from the earth's crust), it can be referred to be an endothermic reaction.
