Bromo-4-fluorohexane has two chiral carbon atoms; therefore, the maximum number of possible stereoisomers that can be formed is

four (determined by using the formula 2n, where n is the number of chiral carbon atoms). draw the four possible stereoisomers of 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

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.

How many moles of sulfur dioxide are in 2.26x10^33 sulfur dioxide molecules?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:moles = no. of molecules / Avogadro's number

          = 2.26 x 10^33 / 6.022 x 10^23

          = 3752906011

Round to significant figures which is 3 = 3.75 x 10^9 mol

Explanation:

The formula for finding how many moles of a substance when given the amount of molecules is: moles = number of molecules / Avogadro's number

Which of the following is the balanced equation for P + O2 → P2O5? Question 3 options: A) 4P + O2 → 2P2O B) P + 5O2 → 2P2O5 C) 4
Luden [163]

Given equation:

P + O2 → P2O5

In order for the equation to be balanced, the stoichiometry of the atoms of one kind on the reactant side must be equal to that on the product

Reactants                                            Products

P = 1                                                       P = 2

O = 2                                                     O = 5

The balanced equation would be:

4P + 5O2 → 2P2O5

Reactants                                            Products

P = 4                                                      P = 4

O = 10                                                    O = 10

Ans: D)
