What is the name of this hydrocarbon?
2 answers:
Answer:
2-methylebutane
Explanation:
it is a hydrocarbon and there is a specific Rule for its nomenclature.
that is known as IUPAC naming system. According to it
- The compound that has all single bonds name ends on ane.
- Names according to the number of Carbons,
* For one carbon compound it is known as methane,
* For 2 ethane,
* For 3 propane
* For 4 Butane and so on.
- select the longest chain of compound
- Start numbering with lowest substituted position at carbon
- branch compound name as Iso and neo as whole
So keeping in mind the compound can be named as
2-methylebutane
- As the longest chain contain four carbon atoms so it will name as butane
- The substitution of methyl group is on C-2
*Note: it can also named as isopantane as it is branched and have five carbons but it could not be 3-isopentane.

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is
Explanation:
The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon and hydrogen follows:
where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen respectively.
We are given:
Mass of
We know that:
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol
For calculating the mass of carbon:
In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.
So, in 22.0 g of carbon dioxide, of carbon will be contained.
For calculating the mass of hydrogen:
Mass of hydrogen = Mass of sample - Mass of carbon
Mass of hydrogen = 7.0 g - 6 g
Mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g
To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:
Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.
Moles of Carbon =
Moles of Hydrogen =
Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.
For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.5 moles.
For Carbon =
For Hydrogen =
Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.
The ratio of Fe : C : H = 1 : 2
Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is
<u>Answer:</u>
2.0158 grams
<u>Explantion:</u>
We are to find the mass of the hydrogen atoms in 1 mole of water.
We know that the formula of water is:
We can see, from the above mentioned formula, that water has 2 hydrpgen atoms.
From the periodic table, we get to know that Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1.00794 grams.
As there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in water so grams is the answer
