Double/Triple Bonds vs. Functional Groups
When naming organic compounds, do all functional groups have priority over both triple/double bonds? Or are there some exceptions?

Halogens vs Substituents
When naming structures, do halogens get priority over carbon substituents? Or would it just be everything by alphabetical order?

1.9 part c
Part C the structure is 2-methylbutane and the molecular formula is (CH3)2CHCH2CH3. Why can the name also be isopentane?

What does it mean if the units for k are M^-4s-1 or M^-3s-1? Does this still imply second order?

Units for delta G, S, H
Can there be different units for delta G, S, and H? OR is this the standard:
deltaG = kJ/mol
deltaH= kJ/mol
deltaS= J/K
Does deltaG have different units depending on which equation is used?
deltaG = kJ/mol
deltaH= kJ/mol
deltaS= J/K

Do you still need to use deltaH and deltaS values to find the equilibrium constant if the initial temperature is 298K?

Irreversible vs. Reversible Reactions
Which entropy formula do you use for an irreversible reaction? I understand that deltaS = q(rev)/T is used for reversible reactions, but what about for irreversible?

pH of H2O
In the reversible reaction:
HCl + NaOH -> Na+ + Cl- + H2O
How is the stoichiometric point 7? If the salt does not affect the pH and water is slightly basic, how is this possible?

Cancellation of Ions in a Reaction
In the reversible reaction:
NH4+ + H2O -> H3O+(aq) + NH3(aq)
Ammonium chloride is the initial salt. Why does Cl- not affect the solution and why is it not involved in the reaction? Does this occur for the same reason why NaCl does not affect the pH of a solution?
