Planar
Pyramidal
3

What is the IUPAC name of the compound \( \ce{CH3CH2CH2CH3} \)?

The compound has a straight chain of 4 carbon atoms with single bonds, making it an alkane. The IUPAC name for a 4-carbon alkane is butane.

Butane

What type of hybridization is present in the carbon atoms of benzene?

In benzene, each carbon forms three sigma bonds (two with adjacent carbons and one with hydrogen), resulting in \( sp^2 \) hybridization.

\( sp^2 \)
\( sp^3 \)
\( sp \)
\( sp^3d \)

What is the general formula for alkyl groups?

Alkyl groups are derived from alkanes by removing one hydrogen, giving the general formula \) \ce{C_nH_{2n+1}} \).

\( \ce{C_nH_{2n}} \)
\( \ce{C_nH_{2n-2}} \)
\( \ce{C_nH_{2n+2}} \)
\( \ce{C_nH_{2n+1}} \)
4

How many isomers are possible for \( \ce{C7H16} \)?

For \( \ce{C7H16} \), a heptane molecule, there are 9 possible structural isomers due to various branching patterns.

A hydrocarbon requires 9.5 moles of \( \ce{O2} \) for complete combustion of 1 mole. What is its molecular formula?

For \( \ce{C6H14} \) (hexane): \( \ce{C6H14 + 19/2 O2 -> 6CO2 + 7H2O} \), requiring 9.5 moles of \( \ce{O2} \) per mole.

\( \ce{C5H12} \)
\( \ce{C6H14} \)
\( \ce{C4H10} \)
\( \ce{C6H6} \)

As an acid
Manufacture of polymers
As a base
3

What is the IUPAC name of \( \ce{CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH3} \)?

The longest chain has 5 carbons (pentane), with a methyl group on the third carbon, making it 3-methylpentane.

3-Methylpentane
2-Methylpentane
Hexane
2,2-Dimethylbutane
