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 mixture of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen exerts a total pressure of 378 kPa. If the partial pressures of oxygen and hydrogen
sertanlavr [38]
What's the relationship between total and partial pressure? The total pressure is the sum of the parcial pressures!


So for us, it would be:

378= 212+101+x

where x is the parcial pressure of nitrogen.

Now we count:
378= 212+101+x
378=313+x
378-313=x
65=x

So the parcial pressure exerted by nitrogen is 65!

Answer:

None of these are correct, because there is no way to balance this equation, but I hope these steps help you figure out your answer.

Explanation:

Count out the single amounts of elements you have on both sides of the equation. To be balanced, you need to have the exact same for each element.

Before balanced Left side.

Cl-2

O-8

H-2

Before balanced right side.

H-1

Cl-1

O-3

That means we need to increase Hydrogen, Chlorine and Oxygen on the right for sure and see how that affects the equation. You can keep adding the Coefficients until the # of elements begin to match on each side.  

(I tried to balance this equation, it doesn't work, there is too much on the reactants side for what the product is.)
