Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For the first part of the question, we have to check the <u>chiral carbons</u> in 4-methyl-1,2-cyclohexanediol. In this case carbons, <u>1 and 2 are chiral</u>, if we have 2 chiral carbons we will have 4 isomers. We have to remember that formula 2^n in which "n" is the number of chiral carbons, so:

<u>2^n = 2^2 = 4 isomers</u>

<u>And the isomers that we can have are:</u>

1) (1R,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

2) (1S,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

3) (1S,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

4) (1S,2R)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

See figure 1

For the second part of the question, we have to remember that the oxidation with OsO_4 is a <u>syn addition</u>. In other words, the "OHs" are added in the <u>same plane</u>. In this case, we have the methyl group with a wedge bond, so the "OH" groups will have a dashed bond due to the <u>steric hindrance</u>. Due to this we only can have <u>1 isomer</u> ((1S,2R,4S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol). Finally, on this molecule, <u>we dont have any symmetry planes</u> (this characteristic will cancel out the optical activity), so <u>the product of this reaction has optical activity</u>.

See figure 2

Consider the balanced chemical reaction when phosphorus and iodine react to produce phosphorus triodide: 2 P(s) + 3 I2(g) → 2 PI
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Percent yield of PI3 = 95.4%

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2P (s) + 3I2 (g) > 2PI3 (g)

Let's determine the moles of iodine that has reacted.

58.6 g / 253.8 g/mol = 0.231 mol

Ratio is 3:2. Let's make a rule of three to state the moles produced at 100 % yield reaction.

3 moles of I2 react to make 2 moles of PI3

0.231 moles of I2 would make (0.231 .2) / 3 = 0.154 moles of PI3

As we have produced 0.147 moles let's determine the percent yield.

(Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100 > (0.147 / 0.154) . 100 = 95.4%

What does the second law of thermodynamics say? O A. The entropy of the universe is increasing. B. A system at equilibrium has n
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

A.  The entropy of the universe is increasing.(always)

Explanation:

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that Entropy cannot decrease, because it keeps increasing and increasing and increasing. It will always stay on the increasing side.
