MCQ
The systematic name of $C{H_3} - CHBr - C{H_2}OH$ is
  • A
    $3-$ hydroxy $-2-$ bromopropane
  • $2-$ bromopropanol $-1$ ol
  • C
    $2-$ bromo $-3-$ propanol
  • D
    $3-$ hydroxy isopropyl bromide

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2-$ bromopropanol $-1$ ol
b
Numbering of carbon chain should start from the carbon where the functional group is attached.

Suffix used for $-OH$ functional group is $ol$.

Halogens are always used as substituent.

$\begin{matrix}    {{H}_{3}}C-CH-C{{H}_{2}}-OH  \\    |\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,  \\    Br\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,  \\ \end{matrix}$

Thus, the $IUPAC$ name of given compound is $2$-bromopropan-$1$-ol

Two $5$ molal solutions are prepared by dissolving a non-electrolyte, non-volatile solute separately in the solvents $X$ and $Y$. The molecular weights of the solvents are $M_X$ and $M_Y$, respectively where $M_X\, = \frac{3}{4} M_Y$. The relative lowering of  vapour pressure of the solution in $X$ is $''m''$ times that of the solution in $Y$. Given that the number of moles of solute is very small in comparison to that of solvent, the value of $''m''$  is
