Chapter 5.6, Problem 5.45P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The parent chain has to be chosen and numbered correctly for the given compound.

Concept Introduction:

All the molecules have their unique names.  These names must be known in order to communicate.  But remembering all the chemical names is impossible as there are many numbers of molecules.  To avoid this, the IUPAC nomenclature of naming the molecules has to be understood.  By use of this the name of the molecules can be derived from the rules.  Every IUPAC name consist of five parts.  They are,

StereoisomerismSubstituentsParentUnsaturationFunctional Group

Stereoisomerism indicate if the considered molecule has any stereocenters are present (R,S) and if double bond is present are cis/trans.  In order to name a double bond as cis/trans, the important condition is that, an identical group has to be present on either side of the double bond.  If the identical groups are present on the same side of double bond, then it is known as cis.  If the identical groups are present on the opposite side of the double bond then it is known as trans.

The groups that are connected to the main carbon chain is known as substituents.  The substituents are identified after the carbon chain is identified and the functional group present in the given compound also identified.  The substituents are named by adding “yl” to the end of the name which indicate that it is a substituent is an alkyl.  The OH group is named as –hydroxy-, NH2 group is named as –amino-, Ketone is named as –keto-, Aldehyde is named as –aldo- and Halogen is named as –halo-.  If there are more than one number of the same substituent, then the required prefix, di-, tri-, tetra- are added.

The longest carbon chain is known as the parent.  Parent carbon chain is the lengthiest carbon chain in the molecule that must include the functional group that is present in the compound.  The longest carbon chain is identified and the parent name is given by the number of carbon atoms that is present in it.  It must be remembered that even though functional group is not present in parent carbon chain, the double bond, triple bond if present has to be included.  Numbering becomes a part of all the parts in IUPAC name.  After identifying the parent chain, the numbering is done.  If functional group is present in the given compound, the numbering is given in such a way that the functional group gets the least number.  Then the double bond, triple bond.

Unsaturation indicates that if any triple or double bonds are present in the molecule.  If a compound contains a double bond it is named as “-en-” and if a triple bond is present “-yn-” is used.  If a compound contains two double bonds, then it is named as “-dien-”.  If three double bonds are present in the given compound, then it is named as “-trien-”.  This same rule applies for the compound that contains multiple triple bonds also.

Functional group is the one after which the considered compound is being named.  Functional groups determine the chemical property of a compound.  While naming a compound using IUPAC nomenclature, we add suffix to the name of the compound to show what functional group is present in it.  Some of the examples are,

Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition Consider the following equilibrium: 2NO(g) +Cl₂ (g) = 2NOC1 (g) AGº = -41. kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 8.90 atm of chlorine (C12) and 5.71 atm of nitrosyl chloride (NOC1) at 1075. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of NOCI tend to rise or fall? x10 fall Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO? In other words, if you said the pressure of NOCI will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding NO? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NOCI will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding NO? yes no If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. atm ☑ 18 Ar
Identifying the major species in weak acid or weak base equilibria The preparations of two aqueous solutions are described in the table below. For each solution, write the chemical formulas of the major species present at equilibrium. You can leave out water itself. Write the chemical formulas of the species that will act as acids in the 'acids' row, the formulas of the species that will act as bases in the 'bases' row, and the formulas of the species that will act as neither acids nor bases in the 'other' row. You will find it useful to keep in mind that HCN is a weak acid. acids: 0.29 mol of NaOH is added to 1.0 L of a 1.2M HCN solution. bases: ☑ other: 0.09 mol of HCl is added to acids: 1.0 L of a solution that is bases: 0.3M in both HCN and KCN. other: 0,0,... ? 00. 18 Ar 日
