Answer 1

The molecular formula for pentane is C₅H₁₂. It is an organic compound as well as a hydrocarbon. There are five atoms of carbon and twelve atoms of hydrogen present in one molecule of pentane. The molar mass of pentane is 72 grams per mole. There are three isomers of a pentane including, n-pentane, isopentane and neopentane. These isomers are also named as pentane, 2-methylbutane and 2,2-dimethylpropane. The structural representation of these isomers are;

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3

CH3CHCH2CH3
CH3

and

CH3

Answer 3

There are three isomers:

pentane : Straight aliphatic hydrocarbon CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 Five carbons in length.

Iso-butane or 1-methyl butane CH3CHCH2CH3
CH3

2,2 dimethyl-propane CH3
CH3CHCH3
CH3

ANY OTHER WAY YOU TRY TO DO SUBSTITUTION AND YOU WILL AGAIN GET ONE OF THE THREE LISTED ABOVE; THE BEST WAY TO SEE THIS, IS TO USE MODELS AND MAKING THE ISOMERS YOU THINK ARE DIFFERENT, THEN TWIST THEM IN SPACE, ETC. AND YOU WILL FIND ONE OF THE THREE COMPOUNDS ALREADY WRITTEN OR DRAWN(STRUCTURES;ISOMERS).
