Here we have to draw the four isomers of the compound 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

The four isomers of the compound is shown in the figure.      

In an organic molecule the chiral -C center is that where four (4) different groups are present. In 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the 3 and 4 positions are chiral centers. The possible isomers of a molecule can be obtained from the formula 2n. As here 2 chiral centers are present thus number of stereoisomers will be 2×2 = 4.

The four different isomers as shown in the figure are 3R-, 4R-; 3S-, 4S; 3R, 4S and 3S-, 4R- 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

In the 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the functional groups are -Br, C₂H₅, -C₃H₆F and -H for 3-position and -F, -C₂H₅, -C₃H₆ and -H for 4-position respectively.

The priority of the -3 position will be Br > C₃H₆F > C₂H₅ > H and for -4 position F > C₃H₆Br > C₂H₅ > H. If the rotation from the higher priority group to lower is clockwise and anticlockwise then the S- and R- notation are used respectively. However if the -H atom is present at the horizontal position then the notation will be reverse.

Thus the four isomers of the compound is shown.

What makes an inference different from a quess?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inferences are not based on anything from the text while guesses are made only using the text. Inferences are based on evidence in the text while guesses are not. Inferences are made by only using major details from the text while guesses only use minor details.

Select the appropriate words to fill in the blanks. A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in is referred to as ___
Temka [501]

Answer:

A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in is referred to as SATURATED. In such a solution, the concentration of solute is called SOLUBILITY . When that concentration is reported in moles per liter, it is more specifically called MOLAR SOLUBILITY. A special equilibrium constant called the SOLUBILITY PRODUCT constant is calculated from the molar concentrations of the aqueous components of the dissolution equation.

Explanation:

The solubility of a solute in a solvent is the maximum amount of solute in moles that will be dissolved in 1dm3 of the solvent at a specified temperature. Once the maximum number or concentration has been reached, the solvent can no longer take in solutes and this point in the reaction, the solution is said to be saturated. That is the composition of the saturated solution is not affected by the presence of excess solute. An unsaturated solution has a lower concentration of solute and can dissolve more solutes if added until it becomes saturated.

Solubility when reported in moles per liter is called molar solubility of the solution and it gives a more accurate measurement of yh solubility of a solution. The solubility product constant is calculated from the molar concentrations of the aqueous components of the dissolution equation. This solubility product constant explains the balance between dissolved ions from the salt and undissolved salt in a dissolution equation.

Select the correct answer. Given: 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2 If the chemical reaction produces 129 grams of AlCl3, how many grams
ivann1987 [24]

The reaction produces 2.93 g H₂.

M_r:                        133.34  2.016

        2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

<em>Moles of AlCl₃</em> = 129 g AlCl₃ × (1 mol AlCl₃/133.34 g AlCl₃) = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃

<em>Moles of H₂</em> = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃ × (3 mol H₂/2 mol AlCl₃) = 1.451 mol H₂

<em>Mass of H₂</em> = 1.451 mol H₂ × (2.016 g H₂/1 mol H₂) = 2.93 g H₂

Which of the following compounds are soluble in aqueous solutions? Select ALL that are soluble.
sattari [20]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • K₂S
  • CaSO₄ (slightly soluble in water)
  • Pb(ClO₄)₂
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Mg(OH)₂  and CoCO₃ are insoluble in water.
  • Solubility rules are used to determine whether a compound will be soluble or not soluble in aqueous form.
  • K₂S is soluble in aqueous solutions as all salts of Potassium are soluble in water.
  • Calcium (ii) sulfate is slightly soluble in water.
  • Hydroxides are insoluble in water except, KOH, NaOH and NH₄OH.and Barium hydroxide. Therefore, Mg(OH)₂ is an insoluble hydroxide.
  • CoCO₃ is insoluble since carbonates are insoluble except K₂CO₃, Na₂CO₃ and (NH₄)₂CO₃. .
  • Pb(ClO₄)₂ is soluble because all perchlorates are soluble.
