To solve the problem of determining the IUPAC name and drawing the bond-line structure of a hydrocarbon with a molecular weight of 72 g/mol and a 2-methyl group, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Base Structure The molecular weight of the hydrocarbon is given as 72 g/mol. Since it contains a 2-methyl group, we can start by considering the longest carbon chain that can accommodate this group. ### Step 2: Calculate the Number of Carbons The molecular weight of carbon (C) is approximately 12 g/mol. To find out how many carbon atoms can fit into the molecular weight of 72 g/mol, we can set up the following equation: - Let \( n \) be the number of carbon atoms. ...
