He primary function of chemical nomenclature is to ensure that a spoken or written chemical name leaves no ambiguity concerning which chemical compound the name refers to: each chemical name should refer to a single substance. The form of nomenclature used depends on the audience to which it is addressed.

It is important for scientists to have a standard system of naming compounds and other chemical procedures to avoid ambiguity in the nomenclature of chemical compounds and procedures.

Chemicals may be referred to by various names among various scientists in different places. These different names creates confusion when scientists present their discoveries to other scientists outside their locality.

Therefore, it is imperative that a unified and standard system of nomenclature should be devised so that all scientists can have the same name for compounds. This reduces ambiguity associated with the nomenclature of chemical substances and procedure.

what would be the final volume when 2.20 M solution is made from 25.0 mL of a 12.0 M solution? plzz show work
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

136.36 mL

Explanation:

Here we have to use the dilution formula

From C1V1= C2V2

Where;

C1= initial concentration of the solution= 12.0 M

C2= final concentration of the solution= 2.20 M

V1 = initial volume of the solution= 25.0 ml

V2= final volume of the solution= ?????

Then recall;

C1V1=C2V2

V2 = C1V1/C2

Substituting values from the parameters given;

V2= 12.0 × 25.0 / 2.20

V2= 136.36 mL

Which of the following does not correctly describe Sn2 reactions of alkyl halides? A) The mechanism consists of a single step wi
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The correct answer is B the tertiary halides reacts faster than primary halides.

Explanation:

During SN2 reaction the nucleophile attack the alkyl halide from the opposite side resulting in the formation of transition state in which a bond is not completely broken or a new bond is not completely formed.

   After a certain period of time the nucleophile attach with the substrate by substituting the existing nuclophile.

  An increase in the bulkiness in the alkyl halide the SN2 reaction rate of that alkyl halide decreases.This phenomenon is called steric hindrance.

  So from that point of view the that statement tertiary halides reacts faster that secondary halide is not correct.

ANSWER ASAP ITS CHEMISTRY HIGH SCHOOL 10 POINTS!
loris [4]

Answer:

3rd option. 1–butanamine

Explanation:

To name the compound above, the following must be observed:

1. Locate the functional group in the chain. In this case the functional group is amine.

2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound. In this case, the longest chain has 4 carbon i.e butane.

3. Since the functional group is amine, the parent name becomes butanamine i.e replacing the –e at the end in butane with –amine

4. Indicate the position of the functional group in the chain. In this case the functional group is at carbon 1

5. Name the compound by putting the above together.

The name of the compound is:

1–butanamine or butan–1–amine
