Rules for nomenclature of
1 The longest continuous carbon chain is identified first and named in accordance with the number of carbon atoms present in it. For example, hydrocarbon with one carbon atom has prefix “meth”, that with two carbon atoms has prefix “eth”, that with three carbon atoms has prefix “prop” and so on. Suffix used for alkanes is “ane.”
2. Substituents attached to the parent carbon chain are to be identified. These are named by removal of single hydrogen atom from carbon chain end and named by replacement of suffix “ane” by “yl.” For example if
3. Carbons of the parent chain are named in such a way that substituents acquire the lowest numbers.
4. If same substituent is present more than one time in the molecule, it is represented by prefix “di”, “tri” and so on. It depends on number of times substituent occurs in molecule.
5. If two or more substituents are present in the molecule, these are named in alphabetical order.
6. If carbon chains of same length exist in the same molecule, chain with the largest number of side chains, followed by lowest number to substituents, chain with the greatest number of carbon atoms in smaller chain and chain with the least branched side chains are preferred over other ones.
7. Prefix “cyclo” is used if cyclic alkane is present in the molecule.

- From your calculations, which reaction experiment had closest to stoichiometric quantities? How many moles of NaHCO3 and HC2H3O2 were present in this reaction?arrow_forward18. Arrange the following carbocations in order of decreasing stability. 1 2 A 3124 B 4213 C 2431 D 1234 E 2134 SPL 3 4arrow_forwardAcetic acid is added to DI water at an initial concentration of 10 -6 M (Ka=1.8x10-5) A. Using the "ICE" Method, what would the pH be at equilibrium? State assumptions and show your work. B. Using the simultaneous equations method, what would the pH be at equilibrium?

- 1. Show that the change in entropy for a fixed amount of ideal gas held at a constant temperature undergoing a volume change is given by the simple equation AS = NkB In Hint: Start with the equation M dS = du + (Œ) dv - Ž (#) an, dU du+av-dN; j=1 Why doesn't the equation for the entropy of an ideal gas depend on the strength of the intermolecular forces for the gas?arrow_forward2. Make an ice cube at 1 bar pressure by freezing an amount of liquid water that is 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm in volume. The density of liquid water at 0 °C is 1.000 g cm³ and the density of ice at 0 °C is 0.915 g cm³. Note that this difference in density is the reason your water pipes burst if they freeze and why you shouldn't forget to take your bottle of pop out of the freezer if you put it in there to try and cool it down faster. A. What is the work of expansion upon freezing? B. Is work done on the system or by the system?arrow_forwardI have a excitation/emission spectra of a quinine standard solution here, and I'm having trouble interpreting it. the red line is emission the blue line is excitation. i'm having trouble interpreting properly. just want to know if there is any evidence of raman or rayleigh peaks in the spectra.arrow_forward
