(a)
Interpretation: The IUPAC name for the given compound is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is done such that the structure of organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name.
Rules for writing IUPAC name from structural formula are
1. First identify the longest carbon chain.
2. The next step is to identify the groups attached to the longest chain.
3. Identify the position, location, and number of the substituent bonded to the carbon chain.
4. Use prefix di, tri, tetra if same type of substituent is present.
5. Name the substituents in alphabetical order.

- Soap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups.
