Above question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.......................................................................................................................

Correct Answer: Option D i.e. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3

Reason:
Isomers are the compounds having same molecular formula, but different structural formula.

The molecular formula of the compound is C5H12

The compound present is question (i.e. 2-methyl butane) and option D (n-pentane) has same molecular formula. Hence, they are isomers.

However, compound present in option A, is the same compound provided in question. Hence, it is not an isomer. Compounds reported in option B and C has one carbon atom less and more, respectively as compared to the compound reported in question. Hence, they are also not isomers.

A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 58.932g. it has been heated to 101.00 degrees C, then dropped quickly into 45.20 mL o

yaroslaw [1]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.111 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Mass of the unknown metal sample as 58.932 g
Initial temperature of the metal sample as 101°C
Final temperature of metal is 23.68 °C
Volume of pure water = 45.2 mL

But, density of pure water = 1 g/mL

Therefore; mass of pure water is 45.2 g
Initial temperature of water = 21°C
Final temperature of water is 23.68 °C
Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

We are required to determine the specific heat of the metal;

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the amount of heat gained by pure water</h3>

Q = m × c × ΔT

For water, ΔT = 23.68 °C - 21° C

= 2.68 °C

Thus;

Q = 45.2 g × 4.184 J/g°C × 2.68°C

= 506.833 Joules

<h3>Step 2: Heat released by the unknown metal sample</h3>

We know that, Q = m × c × ΔT

For the unknown metal, ΔT = 101° C - 23.68 °C

= 77.32°C

Assuming the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is c

Then;

Q = 58.932 g × c × 77.32°C

= 4556.62c Joules

<h3>Step 3: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal sample</h3>

We know that, the heat released by the unknown metal sample is equal to the heat gained by the water.

Therefore;

4556.62c Joules = 506.833 Joules

c = 506.833 ÷4556.62

= 0.111 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.111 J/g°C

How many moles of hydrogen are needed to produce 13.78 mol of ethane?

mamaluj [8]

Ethane is an alkane. Methane is also an alkane and is considered to be the simplest alkane. The difference is ethane has only 2 carbon. That carbon has 6 hydrogen attached to it. So what we do is we multiply the moles of ethane by the number of hydrogen (by dimension analysis) resulting to 82.68 moles H.
