Explanation:

Alkanes are the hydrocarbons in which single bonds are present between the carbon atoms

The suffix for alkane hydrocarbons used is '-ane'. The rules to write the nomenclature of alkanes follows:

Select the longest possible continuous carbon chain and it will be the parent chainNumbering is done as such that the alkyl substituents are given the lowest numberIf different alkyl groups are present, they are written in an alphabetical order irrespective of their position in the carbon chainIf two or more similar alkyl groups are present, the words, di, tri, tetra, and so on are used to specify the number of times alkyl groups appearIf two or more alkyl groups are present and the branching occurs, the numbering is done which gives the minimum possible number to all the substituents

For the given options:

(a) 2,2-Dimethyl-6-ethylheptane

The longest possible carbon chain has 8 carbon atoms (prefix used is 'oct-') and not 7(prefix used is 'hept-').

Thus, the correct IUPAC name will be 2,2,6-trimethyloctane.

(b) 4-Ethyl-5,5-dimethylpentane

The longest possible carbon chain has 6 carbon atoms (prefix used is 'hex-') and not 5(prefix used is 'pent-').

Thus, the correct IUPAC name will be 4-isopropylhexane.

The substituents are not given the minimum possible number. Total sum of the number in original compound = [4 + 4 + 3] = 11

But, if both the methyl groups are placed at 3rd position, then total sum of the number = [3 + 3 + 4] = 10

Thus, the correct IUPAC name will be 4-ethyl-3,3-dimethylhexane

(d) 5,5,6-Trimethyloctane

The substituents are not given the minimum possible number. Total sum of the number in original compound = [5 + 5 + 6] = 16

But, if both the methyl groups are placed at 3rd position and 4th position, then total sum of the number = [3 + 3 + 4] = 10

Thus, the correct IUPAC name will be 3,3,4-trimethyloctane

(e) 2-Isopropyl-4-methylheptane

The longest possible carbon chain has 8 carbon atoms (prefix used is 'oct-') and not 7 (prefix used is 'hept-').

Thus, the correct IUPAC name will be 2,3,5-trimethyloctane

The structures of the compounds are attached below.

Explain why each of the following names is incorrect

(a) 2,2-Dimethyl-6-ethylheptane
(b) 4-Ethyl-5

In a laboratory experiment, a fermenting aqueous solution of glucose and yeast produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. the solution was heated by burning natural gas in a bunsen burner to distill the ethanol that formed in the flask. during the distillation, the ethanol evaporated and then condensed in the receiving flask. the flame of the burner was kept too close to the bottom of the flask and some of the glucose decomposed into a black carbon deposit on the inside of the flask. during this experiment the following changes occurred. which of these changes involved a physical change and not a chemical change? check all that apply. 1-condensation of ethanol 2-evaporation of ethanol 3- formation of carbon dioxide gas from glucose burning of natural gas 4-formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast 5-formation of a carbon deposit inside the flask
