Answer:

Option a. Benzenecarbonitrile

Explanation:

You are not providing the picture of the compound. However, I manage to find the picture of it, so I'm gonna answer this with the picture. Its attached here at the end.

As for the IUPAC name of this compound, it would be Benzenecarbonitrile, or simply, benzonitrile.

This compound has the molecular formula C₆H₅CN. It receives this name over the other ones, because this is a aromatic cyanide, and aromatic cyanide has nitriles behavior, (Strength of the nitrogen over the carbon), therefore, this group has priority over the whole molecule. As the principal chain is the benzene, the carbonitrile is the radical of the group, and when cyano groups are as radical and not as principal chains, it has a behavior of nitrile, and it's named as nitrile. therefore, option b, cannot be the name.

phenylcyanide is naming the phenyl as radical, but the benzene is the principal group in this compound, and the cyanide is the radical. It happens the same thing with cyanophenyl.

Hope this helps

alexgriva [62]

For Hg :
2405 g mol / 200.59 g = 0.0012 mol
For O:
( 2.5000 - 2.405 ) g mol / 15.999 g = 0.006 mol
0.012 : 0.006 = 2 Hg
0.006 : 0.006 = 1 O
Answer:
The empirical formula is Hg 2 O.

A reaction produces 0.809 moles of h2o. how many molecules are produced?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Use Avogadro's number which is numerically equal to ...

( 6.02 multiply by 10 to the power of negative 23)

Avocado's number is the number of particle(molecules, ions, atoms) present in one mole of substance.

number of molecule in 0.809 mole of h20 = ....

one mole of h20 contains (6.02* 10^-23)

0.809 mole contains....(6.02* 10^-23) (0.809)
which is equal to [4.951* 10 ^-23]

if I made no mistake in calculation...it must be correct

Help me!!! Several small craters lie in the floor and on the walls of crater 2. Which is older,crater 2 or the smaller craters i

Zinaida [17]

Well, think of it this way. If you put a big paper circle on the ground, and then you put smaller circles on top of the big circle, which one would have been there longer? The big circle, of course. So the same logic applies here: if the smaller craters had been older than the big crater, then when the big crater was formed, the smaller ones would've been buried. Therefore, crater 2 is older than the smaller craters inside it.
Hope that helped! =)

What color is a carrot

Amanda [17]

Answer: Many people assume the original carrot colour is orange, when in fact all the different carrot colours available nowadays come from one common, colourless ancestor, the wild carrot (Daucus carota).

The taste difference between different colored carrots like orange, purple, red, white, and yellow isn't extreme. It isn't even as wide a range as different colored tomatoes. Yet there is some bit of a change to the flavor. It's often slight and it's subtle, mainly showing up when eating carrots raw. You can also understand the taste difference in different colored carrots by cooking them up or roasting them.
