Chapter 19, Problem 9E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The name for the alkane, CH3CH2CH2CH3 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Alkanes are hydrocarbons that have general formula as CnH2n+2 having single bonds only. The members of alkanes are methane, ethane, propane and many more.

They are known as saturated hydrocarbons as all the four valances of carbon are satisfied by four atoms, which may be of same or different elements.

Answer to Problem 9E

The alkane CH3CH2CH2CH3 is named as butane.

Explanation of Solution

Alkanes are the compounds with general formula, CnH2n+2 and end with a suffix, ane. Alkanes are the hydrocarbons which contains only single bonds between two carbon atoms.

The structure of the alkane is CH3CH2CH2CH3.

In the compound, the carbon chain consists of four carbon atoms, therefore the word root is but.

The rule of naming an alkane according to IUPAC is wordroot+ane.

IUPAC name of the compound=but+ane=butane

Therefore, the IUPAC name of the compound, CH3CH2CH2CH3, is butane.

Conclusion

The name of the alkane CH3CH2CH2CH3 is butane.

Answer to Problem 9E

The alkane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 is named as hexane.

Explanation of Solution

Alkanes are the compounds with general formula, CnH2n+2 and end with a suffix, ane. Alkanes are the hydrocarbons which contains only single bonds between two carbon atoms.

The structure of the alkane is CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3.

In the compound, the carbon chain consists of six carbon atoms, therefore the word root is hex.

The rule of naming an alkane according to IUPAC is wordroot+ane.

IUPAC name of the compound=hex+ane=hexane

Therefore, the IUPAC name of the compound, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, is hexane.

Conclusion

The name of the alkane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 is hexane.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The name for the alkane, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Alkanes are hydrocarbons that have general formula as CnH2n+2 having single bonds. The members of alkanes are methane, ethane, propane and many more.

They are known as saturated hydrocarbons as their all four vacancies are satisfied by four different atoms, which may be of same or different elements, therefore the class of hydrocarbons having single bond is alkanes.

Answer to Problem 9E

The alkane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 is named as octane.

Explanation of Solution

Alkanes are the compounds with general formula, CnH2n+2 and end with a suffix, ane. Alkanes are the hydrocarbons which contains only single bonds between two carbon atoms.

The structure of the alkane is CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3.

In the compound, the carbon chain consists of eight carbon atoms, therefore the word root is oct.

The rule of naming an alkane according to IUPAC is wordroot+ane.

IUPAC name of the compound=oct+ane=octane

Therefore, the IUPAC name of the alkane, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, is octane.

Conclusion

The name of the alkane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 is octane.

Interpretation Introduction

Answer to Problem 9E

The alkane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 is named as decane.

Explanation of Solution

Alkanes are the compounds with general formula, CnH2n+2 and end with a suffix, ane. Alkanes are the hydrocarbons which contains only single bonds between two carbon atoms.

The structure of the alkane is CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3.

In the compound, the carbon chain consists of ten carbon atoms, therefore the word root is dec.

The rule of naming an alkane according to IUPAC is wordroot+ane.

IUPAC name of the compound=dec+ane=decane

Therefore, the IUPAC name of the compound, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, is decane.

Conclusion

The name of the alkane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 is decane.
