Is caffeine optically active

Chemistry
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]3 years ago
7 0
Caffeine is not optically active because it is a planar heterocycle. When you say optically active, it means that compounds have molecules which are chiral. Chirality is the property of molecules as a result of its structure. And when you say planar heterocycle, molecules are flat and the ring should contain atoms located in a similar plane.

What effect would a decrease or increase in barometric pressure have on the boiling point
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Pressure Affects the Boiling Point

Atmospheric pressure influences the boiling point of water. When atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling point becomes higher, and when atmospheric pressure decreases (as it does when elevation increases), the boiling point becomes lower.

A gas sample is held at constant temperature. What happens to the pressure of the sample if the volume is doubled and the number
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

If the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled, pressure is unchanged

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = constant

Volume will be doubled

Number of molecules will be doubles

Step 2:

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ gas constant and temperature are constant

Initial pressure = n*R*T / V

Initial pressure = 2*R*T/2

Initial pressure =  RT

Final pressure = 4*RT / 4

Final pressure = R*T

If the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled, pressure is unchanged

What else is produced when sodium carbonate decomposes? Na2CO3 Na2O +
andriy [413]

When a single compound breaks down into two or more compounds or elements in a chemical reaction then it is known as decomposition reaction.

The chemical symbol for sodium carbonate is Na_2CO_3.

The decomposition of sodium carbonate is:

Na_2CO_3\rightarrow Na_2O+ CO_2

The decomposition of sodium bicarbonate, Na_2CO_3 will result in the formation of sodium oxide, Na_2O and carbon dioxide, CO_2.

Hence, carbon dioxide, CO_2 will produce with sodium oxide, Na_2O on decomposition of Na_2CO_3.

The element Osminum has a density of 22.6 g/cm3. the mass of a block of Osmium with three sides of 1.01cmx0.223 cm x 0.648 cm is
Alika [10]
Volume of osmium = 1.01(0.223)(0.648) = 0.14595 cm3

Density = mass / volume
So density x volume = mass of osmium
22.6 x 0.14595 = 3.29845 g
