Name the following alkyne. Please help me <3

Chemistry

Answer:

D. 7-methyl-3-octyne

Explanation:

1) Identify the parent chain and name it like an alkane.

• The longest chain of carbons, which consists of the functional group (which is the alkyne group in this case: C≡C).

• There are 8 carbons in the longest chain, so it is called an octane.

2) Now, identify the location of the functional group.

• The location number of the functional group should be as low as possible. Thus although we could count from the right, we start counting from the left since the functional group is closer to the left. From the left, the functional group would be at carbon 8 while from the left, it is on carbon 3.

• Replace 'ane' with 'yne' in octane for the alkyne group.

• This would give us 3-octyne.

3) Lastly, add in the name of the branch.

• Here we have one branch, -CH₃. This is read as methyl.

• Identify the location number of the branch by counting the number of carbons in the same direction as when we counted the location number of the functional group. The methyl branch has a location number of 7.

• Adding the name of the branch before the parent chain, we would arrive at 7-methyl-3-octyne as the IUPAC name of the alkyne.

Further Explanation:

A) This option is incorrect as there are only 8 carbons in the parent chain. Although there are 9 carbons in total, the 9th carbon is taken care of in '7-methyl'.

B) Location number of the functional group should be as low as possible, so start counting the number of carbons from the left!

C) Since the functional group is an alkyne, the word 'octane' should be 'octyne' instead.

Use the periodic table to match each of the following element symbols to its name, atomic mass, or atomic number
uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the periodic table, the element designated as Sn is tin. Sn is derieved from a latin name of the metal called Stanum

Selenium Se is a group 6 element. It belongs to the same group with oxygen, sulfur and tellurium. This substance has an atomic weight of 78.96g/mol

Oxygen is a group 6 element with an atomic mass of 16. The atomic mass is the number of protons in the nucleus of this atom.

The equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction is 0.497 at 500K.PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)If an equilibrium mixture of t
Anestetic [448]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium partial pressure of chlorine gas is 0.360 atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical equation:

PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl2(g)

The expression of K_p for above reaction follows:

K_p=\frac{p_{Cl_2}\times p_{PCl_3}}{p_{PCl_5}}

We are given:

K_p=0.497\\p_{PCl_3}=0.651atm\\p_{PCl_5}=0.471atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.497=\frac{p_{Cl_2}\times 0.651}{0.471}\\\\p_{Cl_2}=0.360atm

Hence, the equilibrium partial pressure of chlorine gas is 0.360 atm
