1 answer:
Molecules with a plane of symmetry between the chiral centers are achiral and meso. From the given molecules (Picture attached) only (A) compound 1 is meso.
When compounds possess a plane of symmetry between the chiral centers they are called achiral or meso compounds. Among the given compounds (A) compound 1 have a plane of symmetry. So we can say compound one is a meso or achiral compound. Compounds two, three, and four have no plane of symmetry, as you can see in the structures attached. So all other compounds (compound 2, compound 3, and compound 4) except compound one are not meso or achiral.
You can also learn about meso compounds from the following question:

Answer:
The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.
Explanation:
Where:
Q = heat absorbed or heat lost
c = specific heat of substance
m = Mass of the substance
ΔT = change in temperature of the substance
We have mass of copper = m = 25.3 g
Specific heat of copper = c = 0.385 J/g°C
ΔT = 39°C - 22°C = 17°C
Heat absorbed by the copper :
The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.
