Answer:

3,4–diethylheptane

Explanation:

To name the compound given in the question above, the following must be obtained:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound.

2. Determine the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

3. Identify the substituent groups attached to the compound.

4. Give the substituent groups the lowest possible count by naming them alphabetically.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, we shall name the compound given in the question above as follow:

1. The compound belongs to the alkane family since it has only single bonds.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 7 i.e the parent name of the compound is heptane.

3. The substituent group attached to the compound is ethyl (–CH2CH3). There are two ethyl groups attached to the compound.

4. The two ethyl group is at carbon 3 and 4 (i.e number from the right to the upper branch chain).

5. The name of the compound is:

3,4–diethylheptane.

Match the correct definition with the correct term from questions 10-13: A. Internal energy B. Latent heat C. Chemical (bond) en

Marizza181 [45]

Answer: A. Internal energy : May be viewed as the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the molecules

B. Latent heat: The internal energy associated with the phase of a system.

C. Chemical (bond) energy : The internal energy associated with the atomic bonds in a molecule

D. Nuclear energy : The internal energy associated with the bonds within the nucleus of the atom itself

Explanation:

Internal energy is defined as the total energy of a closed system. Internal energy is the sum of potential energy of the system and the kinetic energy of the system. It is represented by symbol U.

Latent heat is the thermal energy released or absorbed by a thermodynamic system when the temperature of the system does not change. It is thus also called as hidden heat.

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of molecules.

Nuclear energy is the energy which is stored in the nucleus of an atom called as binding energy within protons and neutrons.

One beaker contains 19.93 mL, another contains 14.0 mL and a third contains 10.6 mL. What is the total volume of the three beake

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{44.5 mL}}$

Explanation:

When adding or subtracting values, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.

That is, you round off to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places.

$\begin{array}{r|r}19.9& \text{3 mL}\\14.0&\text{mL}\\10.6&\text{mL} \\\mathbf{44.5} &\textbf{3 mL}\\\end{array}$

The measurements of 14.0 and 10.6 have one digit after the decimal point, so you round the sum to have only one digit to the right of the decimal.

The number to be dropped (3) is less than 5, so you drop it.

$\text{The total volume of the three beakers is $\large \boxed{\textbf{44.5 mL}}$}$
