Would adding up the numbers in the organic compound name and then finding which one has the lower number work in seeing which one is the correct way to name a compound?
4-ethyl-2, 2-dimethyl-hexane (4+2=6)
3-ethyl-5,5-dimethyl-hexane (3+5=8)

PRACTICE QUIZ 1 (#9)
The answer for the question is ΔG and ΔSsys, but I was wondering how come it wouldn't be ΔSsys and ΔSsur as well? Won't they both be 0 because it is isothermal and there is no change?

Sublimiation
I read in the course reader that sublimation is solid changing into vapor. Is vapor changing solid sublimation as well? If not, what is it called?
