What is the iupac name of the following compound?

2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane

The IUPAC name of the compound has already been given which is 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane.

Explanation:

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is an authority in chemistry that provides a guideline and standardized methods in the naming of compounds formed from the periodic table.

In order the give an IUPAC name to a compound, certain steps needs to be followed, these includes:

--> Identify the functional group in the compound as this will form the suffix. For example if the functional group is an alkane the suffix will be -ane.

--> Identify the longest carbon chain (it may not be a straight chain) that contains the functional group. This forms the prefix. Example: if the longest carbon chain is 7 carbon atoms then the prefix will be hept-

--> All the carbons of the longest chain should be numbered

--> Identify branched groups on the chain and name them according to the number of carbon atoms. They usually end with -yl.

--> Finally, combine the elements of the name is a single word.

The structural formula of the IUPAC compound can be found in the attached file for a better understanding. The branched groups are circled.

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.  

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)  

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3  

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.
