What is the name of this hydrocarbon?
a. 1-methylbutane
b. 2-methylbutane
c. 2-methylpropane
d. 3-methylpropane

C. 2-methylpropane

Explanation:

There are rules guiding the naming of hydrocarbons. Some of the rules are:

1.) The longest continuous chain is the parent chain:

The longest chain here is made up of 3-carbon atoms which is a propane compound

2.)The carbon atoms are numbered in the parent chain to indicate where branching or substitution takes place.

Here, it is in the second carbon atom in propane.

The branched group is methyl- which is a methane molecule that has lost a hydrogen atom.

This makes ths name of the compound to be:

2-methylpropane

C.

Explanation:

here we have to get the change of moles on decrease the volume of the reaction in gas phase.

the   per the given options it will decrease by (d) 11-50%

we know, on decreasing the volume of the gas phase reaction the reaction moves to the product side.

the reaction:                     so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g)         total

the moles at equilibrium:   1 - α                 α               α           = 1+α

concentrations:                   1 - α               α               α           = 1 + α

(concentration = moles/volume, as volume is 1 l)

(where α is the degree of dissociation)

now the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

=  

or,

or,   = (at v = 1l)

the reaction:                     so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g)         total

the moles at equilibrium:   1 - α                 α               α           = 1+α

concentrations:               (1 - α)/0.5           α/0.5         α/0.5       = (1 + α)/0.5

thus, the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

or,  

=  

so, the change of 1 : 1/0.5

or, 1: 2

thus it will decrease by 50%.

or, as per the given options it will decrease by 11-50%

what's the question?
