Answer:

(1) n-Octane

(2) 2-methyl-Heptane

(3) 3-methyl-Heptane

(4) 4-methyl-Heptane

(5) 2-ethyl-Hexane

(6) 3-ethyl- Hexane

Explanation:

We are given Octane which has the chemical formula as C8H18, and we need to find its three possible structures.

Isomerism is defined as the phenomenon in which a chemical compound will consist of the same chemical formula but it will have different orientation or bond arrangements. in simpler meaning isomers of a compound has same chemical formula but has different structures.

Some possible isomers of the compound Octane are given as in terms of their IUPAC names.

Chemical formula : C8H18

(1) n-Octane

(2) 2-methyl-Heptane

(3) 3-methyl-Heptane

(4) 4-methyl-Heptane

(5) 2-ethyl-Hexane

(6) 3-ethyl- Hexane

When 100 mL of 1.0 M Na3PO4 is mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M AgNO3, a yellow precipitate forms and [Ag ] becomes negligibly small.

lana [24]

Answer:

$Na3PO4 + 3AgNO3 -------> Ag3PO4 + 3NaNO3$

In which [Ag+] in negligibly small and the concentration of each reactant is 1.0 M

The answer is A) PO43- < NO3- < Na+

Explanation:

Ag+ is removed from the solution just like PO43-, so there are just 2 possible answers at this point: a or b. Then we can notice that Na3PO4 releases 3 moles of Na+ and just 1 mole of NO3-

We have 100mL of each reactant with the same concentration for both (1.0 M) so:

(0.1)(1)(3)= 0.3 mol Na+

(0.1)(1)= 0.1 mol NO3-

so PO43- < NO3- < Na+
