Explanation:

Hey there!

Basically, we name hydrocarbon in two ways. They are;

Trival system of nomenclature: This system was used on past. They were given name knowing their sources from which hydrocarbon are obtained. On this naming we don't use scientific rules and structural values. For example; methane was named from marsh gas.
IUPAC system of nomenclature: As the above method was not standard. IUPAC (International Union of pure and applied chemistry) improved the system and the started naming hydrocarbon. The IUPAC name of any compound contains two parts: root word and suffix. Example: Methane is named from root word Meth as it has one no.of carbon and suffix ane as it has single bonding.

Hope it helps...

A piece of iron is heated to 120'C then placed in a calorimeter containing 50g of water. The water temperature is raised from 30

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Mass of iron = 59.375 gm

Explanation:

Calories ( or joules) are added to the water by the hot steel so at the endpoint they are BOTH at 40 C

The water gains:

4.18 j/g-C * 50 * (40-30 C) = 2090 j

The steel gave up 2090 j going from 120 to 40 C

2090 = .44 j/g-C * m * (120-40) solve fro m = 59.375 gm

Octane C8H18 is an ingredient in gasoline. How many carbon atoms are in 20 kg of octane? help please

eduard

Answer:

Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C 8 H 18, and the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 6 CH 3.Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the amount and location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (commonly called iso-octane) is used as one of the standard values in the octane rating scale.

Chemical formula: C₈H₁₈

Molar mass: 114.232 g·mol−1

Melting point: −57.1 to −56.6 °C; −70.9 to −69.8 °F; 216.0 to 216.6 K

Solubility in water: 0.007 mg dm−3 (at 20 °C)

In a high-mass star, hydrogen fusion occurs via the choose one: a. spin-spin interaction. b. proton-proton chain. c. cno cycle.

Lerok [7]

In a high-mass star, hydrogen fusion occurs via the CNO (Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen) cycle.

According to the life cycle of a star, there are three main phases in the life of a star: The initial phase (a quick phase), short phase or supergiant phase and death phase or supernova explosion.

the CNO cycle means Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen cycle and this process tale place during main sequence phase.

In this phase, hydrogen fuses into helium as a result of six different reaction taking place inside a star.

The first step of the sequence begins when the nucleus of carbon 12 isotope emits gamma rays after capturing a proton and produces nitrogen-13.

This whole cycle is known as stellar nucleosynthesis.
