Answer:

Hexane.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the general reaction of the compound C4H14 with chlorine is:

C_6H_{14}+Cl_2\rightarrow C_6H_{13}Cl+HCl

Which stands for a substitution chemical reaction in which one chlorine is able to replace one hydrogen and therefore hydrogen chloride gives off; we infer that the initial compound, C4H14, shows off the C_nH_{2n+2} formula characteristic of alkanes; in such a way, as it has six carbon atoms, we infer it is hexane.

Best regards!

The hydrogen deficiency index( HDI) of strigol is = 10

<h3>How to calculate HDI:</h3>

The hydrogen deficiency index is used to measure the number of degree of unsaturation of an organic compound.

Strigol is an example of an organic compound because it contains carbons and hydrogen.

To calculate the HDI using the molecular formula given (C19H20O6) the formula for HDI is used which is:

hdi =  \frac{1}{2} (2c + 2 + n - h - x)

where C = number of carbon atoms = 19

n= number of nitrogen atoms = 0

h= number of hydrogen atoms = 20

X = number of halogen atoms = 0

Note that oxygen was not considered because it forms two bonds and has no impact.

There for HDI =

\frac{1}{2} (2 \times 19 + 2 + 0 - 20 - 0)

HDI=

\frac{1}{2} (40 - 20)

HDI =

\frac{1}{2}  \times 20

HDI = 10

Therefore, the hydrogen deficiency index of strigol is = 10

g Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each are ____________ . The cis and trans isomers of a particular compound are ___
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Diasteriomers

Stereoisomers

Stereoisomers

Meso compounds

Constitutional isomers

Enantiomers

Enantiomers

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds that posses the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Constitutional isomers differ only in atom to atom connectivity while stereoisomers differ in arrangement of atoms in space. Stereo isomers differ in physical and chemical properties of the compounds.

When stereo isomers are non-superimpossible mirror images of each other, they are called enantiomers. Enantiomers have the same chemical and physical properties and differ only in their reaction with chiral substances.

Achiral compounds are compounds that do not exhibit chirality. Some achiral compounds contain stereogenic centers and are called meso compounds.

If the relative activities of two metals are known which metal is more easily oxidized
Ksivusya [100]
Answer: The metal that has a greater reactivity is more easily oxidized.

Explanation:

Oxidation is when the elements lose electrons and increase their oxidation state.

The metals tend to react by losing electrons and form the corresponding cation.

For expample, sodium (an alkalyne metal) loses one elecron and form the cation Na¹⁺ , then this cation combine with an anion and form compounds like NaCl, NaOH. The same do the other alkalyne metals.

Magnesium (an alkalyne earth metal) loses two electrons and form the cation Mg²⁺, then it combines with some anions to form compounds, like MgSO₄, Mg(OH)₂.

So, the easier the metal gets oxidized the greater its reactivity.
