What is the IUPAC name for the following compound?
1 answer:
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.

Option B: high pressure and low temperature
A gas is more soluble under high pressure and low temperature conditions.
On increasing temperature of a gas, its kinetic energy increases. The increase in kinetic energy increases the motion of particles of gas this causes most of the gaseous particles to escape from the gas phase. Thus, less particles are available to dissolve in liquid and solubility decreases.
The effect of pressure on solubility of gas can be explained with the help of Henry's law. According to the law, at constant temperature, solubility of gas and partial pressure of gas are related to each other as follows:
Here, p is the partial pressure of the gas, is Henry's law constant, and
c is the concentrate of the gas.
According to above relation, concentration of gas decreases on decreasing partial pressure. Thus, on increasing pressure, concentration of gas increases this increases the solubility of gas in liquid.
Therefore, solubility of gas is greatest at high pressure and low temperature.
