Branched chain alkanes

The alkanes don't contain a functional group and so the branches are numbered from the end that gives the lowest set of position numbers for the branches.

Use the above rules to see how the names of the alkanes below are built up.

The structure of 2-methylbutane is a butane molecule (C4H10) but with a methyl group (CH3) replacing a hydrogen on the second carbon atom in the chain. The structure of 3-methylpentane could be drawn as butane with an ethyl group (C2H5) replacing a hydrogen on the second carbon. Note that this is not 2-ethylbutane. The structure of 2,2-dimethylbutane is butane with two methyl groups replacing the two hydrogens on the second carbon.

What is a problem commonly associated with nuclear power facilities?
gregori [183]
(1) False, lots of energy is actually produced from nuclear fuel, if we didn't get much then we probably wouldn't use it
(2) False, its burning coal that contributes to acid rain, since it contains sulfur
(3) False again, we can control the reaction with aptly named control rods, which are typically made of boron, to absorb some of the neutrons flying around in the chain reaction
(4) True, radioactive waste is very difficult to dispose of, and is also very dangerous. Sources of radiation can remain so for millions of years

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

AgCl=Ag+ + Cl-

1.4×10^-4 =x × x

x²=1.4×10^-4

x=√(1.4×10^-4)

x=0.012

Why is enthalpy important?
belka [17]
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that, within a closed system, the total amount of energy remains constant. However, energy may change from kinetic to potential and vice versa. The total energy will not have changed. <span>Enthalpy is a measure of the amount of energy that exists in a system at constant pressure. </span>

Which of the following sets of oxidation numbers is NOT correct? KMnO4 : K +2, Mn +6, O -2 NaCHO2 : Na +1, C +2, H +1, O -2 Zn(O
muminat

KMnO4 has the incorrect set of oxidation numbers. Whenever there is an alkali metal, it has an oxidation number of +1. As you can see, K is said to have an oxidation number of +2, so it is incorrect.
