Concept explainers
Interpretation: The systematic name of the unbranched
Concept introduction:
Systematic Name: It is a standardized name given for a chemical compound in systematic manner. Any organic molecule can be named by using IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry) rules. IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.
Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule. It can be any alkyl group and carboxy, amino, cyano etc…
Suffix represents the substituent present in the molecule. It can be any
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton present in the organic molecule.
When a molecule consists of cyclic structure, the root word of the molecule is prefixed with cyclo.
IUPAC naming for Alkane:
Name the main chain: Find the longest carbon chain and name the chain according to the number of carbon atoms it contains; is also the suffix part of the name.
Number the carbon atoms in the main chain: The carbons are numbered, in which the substituents must get lowest possible numbers.
Identify the substituents, and number each: The number at where substituents are present has to be noted. The substituents written as prefix.
Write the names as a single word: Use the hyphen to separate the numbers from the different prefix; commas to separate numbers. If two or more different substituents are present, arrange them in alphabetical order. If two or more identical substituents are present, use prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, but this particular prefix should not be used for alphabetizing purpose.
Answer to Problem 1PS
The systematic name of the given alkane
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of alkane is given. The longest chain has seven carbon atoms so parent chain will be
Therefore systematic name of the given alkane

- How do I solve this Alkyne synthesis homework problem for my Organic Chemistry II class? I have to provide both the intermediate products and the reagents used.arrow_forwardSubstance X is known to exist at 1 atm in the solid, liquid, or vapor phase, depending on the temperature. Additionally, the values of these other properties of X have been determined: melting point enthalpy of fusion 90. °C 8.00 kJ/mol boiling point 130. °C enthalpy of vaporization 44.00 kJ/mol density 2.80 g/cm³ (solid) 36. J.K mol (solid) 2.50 g/mL (liquid) heat capacity 32. J.Kmol (liquid) 48. J.Kmol (vapor) You may also assume X behaves as an ideal gas in the vapor phase. Ex Suppose a small sample of X at 50 °C is put into an evacuated flask and heated at a constant rate until 15.0 kJ/mol of heat has been added to the sample.
