Answer:

The order will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

Explanation:

According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system we rank the groups based on the atomic number of directly attached atom with the chiral carbon.

For example: between C and H, we rank Carbon first.

If the same atoms are attached for different groups then we prioritized based on the second element with highest atomic number.

For example:

Among CH₃ and C₂H₅, the priority will be given to C₂H₅.

If an atom is double or triple bonded to the directly attached atom then each pi bond is considered to be a new atom.

Hence CH=CH₂ means, that there are two carbons attached to CH carbon.

So the order based on above selection rules will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

What is the final product of the following sequence of reactions? (CH3NCHOH PBr3 Mg diethyl ether 1) L N PCC 2) H3O * CH2Cl2 A)

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

(CH3)2CHCH2CHO

Explanation:

The reaction sequence begins with the reaction of isopropanol with phosphorus tribromide to yield isopropyl bromide. This is followed by reaction with Magnesium in ether solution giving a grignard reagent, isopropyl magnesium bromide. This is now attacked by oxirane and the epoxide ring opens, hydrolysis of the product, followed by oxidation using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) yields the final product- (CH3)2CHCH2CHO

The detailed reaction mechanism is attached to this answer.

How many atoms are in 20.6 moles of curium

Harman [31]

Answer: 1.24 × 10^25

Explanation:

$\frac{20.6 moles}{1}$ × $\frac{6.022 * 10^{24} }{1 Mole}$

Using our knowledge in unit conversions, we know the mole units cancel each other out and all there's left is the atom unit. From here we can multiply the fractions and eventually we end with the number 124.0532 × 10^23

According to the scientific notation rules, the number to the left of the decimal cannot exceed 10 so we have to move the decimal to the left two spaces. With this change, we also have to change the exponent of the 10. Because we moved the decimal point two spaces to the left, that means we have 10^25.
