Answer:
Drought, resulting in a 65% reduction in water levels.
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.
Answer:
Cattle produce a lot of methane gas, primarily through enteric fermentation and fermentation of their manure. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that, along with nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and some other compounds in the atmosphere, create a blanket around our planet.
Answer:
a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.
Explanation:
The heating curve is a curve that represents temperature (T) in the y-axis vs. added heat (Q) in the x-axis. The slope is T/Q = 1/C, where C is the heat capacity. Then, the higher the slope, the lower the heat capacity. For a constant mass, it can also represent the specific heat capacity (c).
Heats of vaporization and fusion cannot be calculated from these sections of the heating curve.
<em>Which statement below explains that?</em>
<em>a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.</em> YES.
<em>b. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is greater than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.</em> NO.
<em>c. The heat of vaporization of ethanol is less than the heat of fusion of ethanol.</em> NO.
<em>d. The heat of vaporization of ethanol is greater than the heat of fusion of ethanol.</em> NO.
