Answer : The name of the given hydrocarbon is, 2-methylpropane

Explanation :

The rules for naming of alkanes are given as follows :

First select the longest possible carbon chain and number them.
For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
A suffix '-ane' is added at the end of the name.
If two of more similar alkyl groups are present, then the words 'di', 'tri' 'tetra' and so on are used to specify the number of times these alkyl groups appear in the chain.

Hence, the name for given hydrocarbon will be, 2-methylpropane

How many electrons does an element have if its atomic number is 20

olga55 [171]

Answer:

20 electrons

A neutral atom with atomic number 20 will have 20 electrons.

The atomic number is, by definiton, the number of protons in an atom's nucleus but for a neutral atom it's also equal to the number of electrons. Each element has a different, unique number of protons that determines its identity.

You need 270 ml of a 65% alcohol solution. on hand, you have a 90% alcohol mixture. how much of the 90% alcohol mixture and pure

olganol [36]

You must add 75 mL water to 195 mL 90 % alcohol to make 270 mL of 65 % alcohol.

Step 1. Calculate the volume of 90 % alcohol needed

You can use the dilution formula

V1×C1 = V2×C2

where

V1 and V2 are the volumes of the two solutions

C1 and C2 are the concentrations

You can solve the above formula to get

V2 = V1 × C1/C2

V1 = 270 mL; C1 = 65 %

V2 = ?; _____C2 = 90 %

∴V2 = 270 mL × (65 %/90 %) = 195 mL

You need 195 mL of 90 % alcohol to make 270 mL of 65 % RA

Step 2. Calculate the amount of water to add.

Volume of water = 270 mL – 195 mL = 75 mL

The shape of a protein molecule resembles _____.

emmainna [20.7K]

The shape of a protein molecule resembles BEADS ON A STRING.

Proteins are macro molecules that are formed from amino acids. There are different types of amino acids, thus, different amino acids combine together to form different types of protein. This means that, proteins are formed from sequences of amino acids; they are long chains of different amino acids, that is why, they are likened to beads on string.

The structures of proteins are in three dimensions, they are primary, secondary and tertiary structures. The primary structure refers to the sequence of the amino acids in a protein. The amino acids in the primary structure are linked together by peptide bonds.
