The pH scale is used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale runs from 0 (very acidic solutions can have a negative pH) to 14 (very alkaline solutions can have a pH higher than this), while a neutral liquid such as pure water has a pH of 7. The pH is linked to the concentration of hydrogen ions (H +) in the solution. Diluting an acid or alkali affects the concentration of H +<span> ions in a solution and therefore affects the pH. In this activity, we will investigate how diluting an acid or alkali affects the pH.
Hope this helps:D

Answer:
c. 2,2-dichloropentane.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly draw the structure of the reactant, pent-1-yne:

Now, we infer the halogen is added to the carbon atom with the most carbon atoms next to it, in this case, carbon #2, in order to write the following product:

Whose name is 2,2-dichloropentane.
Regards!
Answer:
5-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanol
Explanation:
There is no structure for the compound, but we can analyze the proposed options using the IUPAC rules to name organic compounds.
IUPAC rules state that to name an organic compound, first we have to identify the priorities for the functional groups present in the compound. <em><u>In this case, the priority functional group is the alcohol group</u></em>, <u><em>so we will start the counting of the carbons in this group.</em></u> Then, the counting of carbon atoms is followed by the next substituents so they have the lowest possible numbers, <em><u>in this case, we can assign the number 2 to the methyl group and 5 to the chloride group</u></em>, and name the compound in alphabetical order, using commas to separate the words from the numbers and with no space between the words.
Since the other options involve: <u>high countings for the susbtituents groups (</u><u>3</u><u>-chloro-</u><u>6</u><u>-methylcyclohexanol)</u>, <u>wrong assignation of priority functional group (</u><u>1-chloro</u><u>-4-methylcyclohexanol), wrong sequence of counting in the compound (</u><u>2-methyl-3-chloro</u><u>cyclohexanol) and no alphabetical order to name the compound (2-</u><u>methyl</u><u>-5-</u><u>chloro</u><u>cyclohexanol), </u><u>the correct option is:</u>
5-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanol
Have a nice day!
