The melting points of the compounds from the choices are listed below:
a. C25H52 -> +47 to +56 degrees celsius
b. Hg -> -38.83 degrees celsius
c. CaCl2 -> +772 degrees celsius
d. CuO -> +1326 degrees celsius
It is evident from the listed melting points above that mercury (Hg) has the lowest melting point. This is why mercury is liquid at room temperature.
Answer: The IUPAC name of compound is
6-Ethyl-2-Octene.
Explanation:First of all draw a straight chain of 8 carbon atoms.
Make a double bond between carbon number 6 and 7 numbering from left.
Add ethyl group at position 3 starting from left.
The structure sketched is attached below,
According to rules the longest chain containing a double bond is selected. Numbering is started from the end to which double bond is nearer. So, in our case the double bond starts at carbon 2, hence parent name of compound is 2-Octene. Then the substituent at position 6 is named.
The replacing of sodium hydroxide with potassium hydroxide
(KOH) to the reaction will least affect the organic product that forms.
Potassium hydroxide is an
inorganic compound with the formula KOH, and is commonly called caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide, this colorless
solid is a prototypical strong base.
The volume of 6.00g iron is 0.762 cm^3.
<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>density of Fe</em>
The <em>specific gravity</em> (SG) of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of water at 4 °C.
SG = density of substance/density of water.
∴ 7.87 = density of iron/1.00 g·cm^(-3)
Density of Fe = 7.87 × 1.00 g·cm^(-3) = 7.87 g·cm^(-3)
<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of Fe</em>
Volume of Fe = 6.00 g Fe × (1 cm^3 Fe/7.87 g Fe) = <em>0.762 cm^3</em>
