Answer:

The IUPAC name of the compound has already been given which is 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane.

Explanation:

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is an authority in chemistry that provides a guideline and standardized methods in the naming of compounds formed from the periodic table.

In order the give an IUPAC name to a compound, certain steps needs to be followed, these includes:

--> Identify the functional group in the compound as this will form the suffix. For example if the functional group is an alkane the suffix will be -ane.

--> Identify the longest carbon chain (it may not be a straight chain) that contains the functional group. This forms the prefix. Example: if the longest carbon chain is 7 carbon atoms then the prefix will be hept-

--> All the carbons of the longest chain should be numbered

--> Identify branched groups on the chain and name them according to the number of carbon atoms. They usually end with -yl.

--> Finally, combine the elements of the name is a single word.

The structural formula of the IUPAC compound can be found in the attached file for a better understanding. The branched groups are circled.

A gas mixture with 4 mol of Ar, x moles of Ne, and y moles
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

a) \Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]

b) x=4

c) \Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol

Explanation:

Gas mixture:

n_{Ar}= 4 mol

n_{Ne}= x mol

n_{Xe}= y mol

n_{tot}= n_{Ar} + n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=3*n_{Ar}

n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=2*n_{Ar}

x + y=8 mol

y=8 mol- x

Mol fractions:

x_{Ar}=\frac{4 mol}{12 mol}=1/3

x_{Ne}=\frac{x mol}{12 mol}=x/12

x_{Xe}=\frac{8 - x mol}{12 mol}=(8-x)/12

Expression of \Delta G_{mixing}

\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*\sum_{i]*x_i*ln (x_i)

\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*[1/3*ln (1/3) +x/12*ln (x/12) +(8-x)/12*ln ((8-x)/12)]

\Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]

Expression of \Delta G_{max}

\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=0

\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)+12-ln ((8-x)/12)-12]

0=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)

0=[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)

ln (x/12)=ln ((8-x)/12)

x=(8-x)

x=4

\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (4/12) +(8-4)*ln ((8-4)/12)]

\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (1/3) +(4)*ln (1/3)]

\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[12*ln (1/3)]

\Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol
