Which of the following statement about pentane is correct? The IUPAC name of pentane is also pentane. But its common name is n-pentane.  Correct Answer Both are correct

The correct answer is 3 i.e. Both are correct.

Explanation:

  • This compound contains 5 carbon atom which is indicated by writing 'pent'.
  • This compound has all single bonds, so it is saturated.
  • The saturated hydrocarbon is indicated by the ending 'ane'.
  • On joining 'pent' and 'ane', the IUPAC name of its compound becomes 'pentane'.
  • The above structure has 5 carbon atoms in one continuous chain. 
  • Such straight chain compounds are termed 'normal' in the common names.
  • The common name of C5H12 hydrocarbon is also 'normal pentane' which is also be written as 'n-pentane'.
  • Thus, the IUPAC name as well as the common name of the hydrocarbon C5H12 is the same, pentane.

Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
For the next cyclone if it is the turn of an Indian name to be chosen, then what will be that name?

A statement is given below in the question followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Jet Airways has defaulted on salary payments again. The cash-strapped airline on Wednesday sought over 10 more days from its employees to pay balance 25 per cent of their salaries for August. Jet Airways had paid 50 per cent of August salaries to its employees on September 11 and the rest was to be paid on Wednesday. But it could pay only half of the balance amount.  Courses of action: I. The cash-strapped airline, which is struggling to meet its cost of operations, had earlier attempted to cut salaries of its employees, but the move was met with stiff resistance that forced it to defer the plan.  II. Jet Airways will today remit half of the second installment of pending emoluments of its pilots, AMEs and senior management for August 2018. III. While the management regrets the attendant inconvenience, it also appreciates the continued support and understanding of its employees.

In this question, a passage and a related statement have been given. Read the passage carefully and assess the statement based on it. Using knives and screws, two Russian astronauts on Tuesday took a sample of substance around a mysterious cavity of the spacecraft called the Soyuz, which was placed in the International Space Station, a Moscow official suggested that it was a break - It can also be done. In August, two months after the last visit of the vehicle, the air leak was detected in the Soyuz spacecraft due to the 2 mm air in the ISS. Roskosmos, an astronomical institute, says that cutting off the insulation on the hole and sampling the material around it and the purpose of putting a new insulation on it is to find out that this small but dangerous hole has been done on earth or Is in space. The chief of Roskosmos has said that the error of manufacturing has not been found in the investigation. Experienced astronauts had to struggle but they managed their mission. Before the spacewalk, astronauts were able to inspect the hole just from within the spacecraft. The biggest difficulty was that in the Soyuz spacecraft, the ISS was not designed to improve during adverse weather space, and no railing was also made to catch the space passengers outside the vehicle. Statement: The mysterious hole in the So yuz spacecraft was due to the error of manufacturing. Select the appropriate from the given options A - Statement is completely true B - The statement is possibly true C - the statement can not be determined D - Statement is completely false
