I can't answer this question if the structural formula is not given. However, I found a similar problem in terms of wording. Taking this problem to be solved, let's take a look at the structural formula as shown in the second picture. First, you must know the parent chain, which is the longest chain. This is a trial-and-error process. The longest chain which has a branching group that is nearest to the head is the correct numbering. In this case, the longest chain has 8 carbon atoms. Thus, the base of the name if octane. Because a 3-carbon chain is branching from the 4th carbon, the IUPAC name of the compound shown is: <em>4-propyloctane.</em>

As a liquid cools, what happens to the evaporation rate?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Evaporation is the rate at which liquid changes into gas. The higher the temperature the higher the increased rate of evaporation.

So if the liquid cools which means the temperature reduces, the rate of evaporation would decrease.

So evaporation rate decreases. B.
