Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The prefix is but-.

Explanation:

"A molecule of a compound contains a total of 10  hydrogen atoms and has the general formula CnH2n+2.Which prefix is used in the name of this compound?

A) but- B) dec- C) oct- D) pent"

Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen. They are divided into aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

In aliphatic hydrocarbons, carbon atoms form open chains and are classified as alkanes, alzenes or alkenes, and alcines or alkynes.

Alkanes have only simple bonds between carbon atoms. The general formula for aliphatic (straight-chain) alkanes is CₙH₂ₙ₊₂.

Alkenes are hydrocarbons that have a carbon-carbon double bond in their molecule, and that is why they are called unsaturated. The generic formula is CₙH₂ₙ.

Alkynes have a triple bond between two carbon atoms. Its general formula is CₙH₂ₙ.

So in this case, you know that it is an alkane. To name an alkane, you must know the number of carbons n. For that you know that the compound has 10 hydrogens. That is, 2n + 2 must be 10. Then you can calculate the value of n:

2*n+2=10

2*n=10 -2

2*n=8

n=8÷2

n=4

So, in this case, the prefix is but-.

Answer 2
Answer: I believe you hAVE A hydrocarbon with 26 carbon  atoms and 24 hydrogen atoms attached.

What SI unit would best be used to express the height of your classroom ceiling ?

Answers

Since height is a basic physical property of length, the height of a classroom ceiling is expressed in meters, or meters, or meters.

What is physical property of length?

There are some physical characteristics of matter, such as length, mass, volume, weight, and so forth, that are dependent on the amount or size of the substance.

As the size or amount of the matter changes, so do these qualities of matter and their values.

A quality of matter that is unrelated to a change in its chemical makeup is called a physical property.

Density, color, hardness, melting and boiling points, and electrical conductivity are a few common examples of physical qualities.

The physical characteristics include color, phase, odor, and boiling point. Reactivity with oxygen is not a physical quality because it depends on the chemical makeup of the thing.

Therefore, meter is used to express the height of your classroom ceiling.

Which list of phases of H2O is arranged in order of increasing entropy

Answers

The list of phases of H2O that is arranged in order of increasing entropy is from solid then liquid then gas. Gaseous water has the most entropy because of the random movement of water molecules. And Solid having the least entropy because the water molecules are arranged in a specific order.

How many grams of methane are needed to form 33.6 L of carbon dioxide

Answers

If you suppose standard temperature and pressure, 1 mol = 22.4 liters.

33.6 liters* 1mol/22.4liters = 1.5 mols.

Molar mass of carbon dioxide: 12 g/mol + 2x16 g/mol = 44 g/mol

Mass of 1.5 mols = 1.5mol * 44 g/mol = 66 g.

A 50.0-gram block of copper at 10.0°C is carefully lowered into 100.0 grams of water at 90.0°C in an insulated container. Which statement describes the transfer of heat in this system?(1) The water loses heat to the block until both are at 10.0°C.
(2) The block gains heat from the water until both are at 90.0°C.
(3) The water loses heat and the block gains heat until both are at the same temperature that is between 10.0°C and 90.0°C.
(4) The water gains heat and the block loses heat until both are at the same temperature that is between 10.0°C and 90.0°C.

Answers

First consider and take note of the following: 
1. When 2 or more finite amounts of substances are mix together (with different temperature) the final temperature is never equivalent to the initial temperature of any of the substances involved. 
2. The substances meet at an equilibrium temperature. 
3. Heat transfers from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. 

Only choice (3) satisfies the conditions. 

Final answer:

Heat transfers from the water to the copper block until both reach an equilibrium temperature.

Explanation:

The transfer of heat in this system can be described by (4) The water gains heat and the block loses heat until both are at the same temperature that is between 10.0°C and 90.0°C.

This is because heat always flows from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature. In this case, the water at 90.0°C has a higher temperature than the copper block at 10.0°C. As a result, heat will transfer from the water to the copper block, causing the water to cool down and the copper block to heat up. Eventually, both objects will reach an equilibrium temperature somewhere between 10.0°C and 90.0°C.
