Give the IUPAC name of CH3CH2CH2CH2CH(OH)CN

First count the longest chain of carbons (6), therefore hexane.OH group is on the 2nd carbon, therefore 2-hydroxy.CN is a nitrile group.
Put together: 2-hydroxyhexanenitrile.

A buffer solution is made with a pH of 5.000. Solid sodium ethanoate, CH3COONa, is added to 400 cm^3 of 0.200 mol dm^–3 ethanoic acid (Ka = 1.75 × 10^–5 mol dm^–3). Calculate the mass of sodium acetate that must be dissolved in the acid to prepare this

Can you explain what stoichometry actually is and why the ratio is not the same as the number of moles?

Explain: 1. Why butanoic acid has a higher boiling point than butan1-ol? 2. Why carboxylic acids of short chain length are more soluble in water than those with longer carbon chain length?
