Is caffeine optically active

1 answer:

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.

A 1.800-g sample of solid phenol (C6H5OH(s)) was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/?C. The temp

vichka [17]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation:

$C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)$

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 32.454 kJ/g

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 3,050 kJ/mol

Explanation:

$C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)$

Heat capacity of calorimeter = C = 11.66 kJ/°C

Initial temperature of the calorimeter = $T_1= 21.36^oC$

Final temperature of the calorimeter = $T_2= 26.37^oC$

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = Q

$Q=C\times \Delta T$

Heat released during reaction = Q'

Q' = -Q ( law of conservation of energy)

Energy released on combustion of 1.800 grams of phenol = Q' = -(58.4166 kJ)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

$\frac{Q'}{1.800 g}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ}{1.800 g}=32.454 kJ/g$

Molar mass of phenol = 94 g/mol

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

$\frac{Q'}{\frac{1.800 g}{94 g/mol}}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ\times 94 g/mol}{1.800 g}=3,050 kJ/mol$

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. How much energy (in kJ) is released b

brilliants [131]

Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, oxygen, to give off combustion products and heat. Complete combustion results when all of the fuel is consumed to form carbon dioxide and water, as in the case of a hydrocarbon fuel. Incomplete combustion results when insufficient oxygen reacts with the fuel, forming soot and carbon monoxide.

The complete combustion of propane proceeds through the following reaction:
$C_{3} H_{8}$ + $5O_{2}$ --> $3CO_{2}$ + $4H_{2}O$

Combustion is an exothermic reaction, which means that it gives off heat as the reaction proceeds. For the complete combustion of propane, the heat of combustion is (-)2220 kJ/mole, where the minus sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic.

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 grams/mole. Using this value, the number of moles propane to be burned can be determined from the mass of propane given. Afterwards, this number of moles is multiplied by the heat of combustion to give the total heat produced from the reaction of the given mass of propane.

14.50 kg propane x 1000 g x 1 mole propane x 2220 kJ 
1 kg 44.1 g 1 mole

= 729,931.97 kJ

What is the molarity of a naoh solution if 39.1 ml of a 0.112 m h2so4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-ml sample of the

aleksandrvk [35]

The reaction between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is as follows;
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of base to acid is 2:1
NaOH is a strong acid and H₂SO₄ is a strong acid, therefore complete ionization into their respective ions takes place.
number of acid moles reacted - 0.112 M / 1000 mL/L x 39.1 mL = 0.0044 mol
the number of base moles required for neutralisation = 0.0044 x 2 = 0.0088 mol
Number of NaOH moles in 25.0 mL - 0.0088 mol
Therefore in 1000 mL - 0.0088 mol/ 25.0 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.352 mol/L
Therefore molarity of NaOH - 0.352 M
