So they can tell what exact species it is.
A. The longest carbon chain is eight, and it has two methyl groups attached to carbon three, and a special group attached to carbon five. Its two names could be:
3-dimethyl-5-(1-methylethyl)octane
3-dimethyl-5-isopropyloctane
Both of these are correct. This is an alkane, because it has all single bonds.
B. This has a triple bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl group off carbon 4. The longest chain is 5. It’s name is:
4-methyl-2-pentyne
This is an alkene, because of the double bond.
C. This has a double bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl off of four and an methyl off of six. The longest chain is eight (follow the longest chain of carbons).
4,6-dimethyl-2-octene
This is an alkene, because of the double bond.
D. This has an ethyl group at 1 and a methyl group at 2 (rotate the compound to make it as clean as possible, in this case, the ring is flipped and rotated to make it alphabetical with the smallest numbers possible). The two names are:
1-ethyl-2-methylbenzene
ortho-ethylmethylbenzene
Both are correct, the ortho prefix telling the location of the ethyl and methyl groups. This is an aromatic structure because of its double bonded ring.
E. The longest chain is nine, and has methyls at three, five, and seven, along with a propyl at five. The name is:
3,5,7-trimethyl-5-propylnonane
This is an alkane, due to the single bonds.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
C₃H₄O₄
Explanation:
In order to get the empirical formula of a compound, we have to follow a series of steps.
Step 1: Divide the percent by mass of each element by its atomic mass.
C: 34.6/12.01 = 2.88
H: 3.9/1.01 = 3.86
O: 61.5/16.00 = 3.84
Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one, i.e., 2.88
C: 2.88/2.88 = 1
H: 3.86/2.88 ≈ 1.34
O: 3.84/2.88 ≈ 1.33
Step 3: Multiply all the numbers by a number that makes all of them integer
C: 1 × 3 = 3
H: 1.34 × 3 = 4
O: 1.33 × 3 = 4
The empirical formula is C₃H₄O₄.
Anhydrous Copper sulfate is 39.81 percent copper and 60.19 percent sulfate by mass, and in its blue, hydrous form, it is 25.47% copper, 38.47% sulfate (12.82% sulfur) and 36.06% water by mass.
