The number of alkyl groups present in 3,4-dimethylhexane, 3-ethyl-3-methylpentane, 3,5-diethyloctane and 4-propylnonane has to be identified. Concept Introduction: Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word. Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name. Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene , alkyne , alcohol, carboxylic acid , alcohol etc. Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule. To name an alkane , the first step is to find the longest carbon chain. The next step is to identify the substituents that are present in the longest carbon chain. The numbering has to be given in a way that the substituents get the least numbering. To draw an alkane from the given IUPAC name, the parent alkane is drawn first followed by substitution of the substituents in the respective carbon atoms. The groups that are attached to the parent carbon chain are known as substituents.

we were assigned to dilute 900ppm in to 18ppm by using only 250ml vol flask. firstly we did calc and convert 900ppm to 0.9 ppm to dilute in 1 liter. to begin the experiment we took 0,225g of kmno4 and dissolved in to 250 vol flask. then further we took 10 ml sample sol and dissolved in to 100 ml vol flask and put it in to a spectrometer and got value of 0.145A . upon further calc we got v2 as 50ml . need to find DF, % error (expval and accptVal), molarity, molality. please write the whole report. thank you The format, tables, introduction, procedure and observation, result, calculations, discussion and conclusion
