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.

Chemical analysis shows that citric acid contains 37.51% C, 4.20% H, and 58.29% O. What is the empirical formula for citric acid
Fiesta28 [93]

The empirical formula for the citric acid is C₆H₈O₇

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Carbon (C) = 37.51%
  • Hydrogen (H) = 4.20%
  • Oxygen (O) = 58.29%
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 37.51 / 12 = 3.126

H = 4.2 / 1 = 4.2

O = 58.29 / 16 = 3.643

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.126 / 3.126 = 1

H = 4.2 / 3.126 = 1.34

O = 3.643 / 3.126 = 1.17

Multiply through by 6 to express in whole number

C = 1 × 6 = 6

H = 1.34 × 6 = 8

O = 1.17 × 6 = 7

Thus, the empirical formula for the citric acid is C₆H₈O₇

What is the boiling point elevation constant, Kb, of diethyl ether if 38.2 g of the nonelectrolyte benzophenone, C6H5COC6H5, dis
kakasveta [241]

Answer: the boiling point elevation constant is 1.73^0C/m

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point is given by:

\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times m

\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0= = Elevation in boling point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte)

K_b =boiling point constant = ?

m= molality

\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}

Weight of solvent (diethylether)= 330 g = 0.33 kg

Molar mass of solute (benzophenone)= 182 g/mol

Mass of solute (benzophenone) = 38.2 g

(35.7-34.6)^0C=1\times K_b\times \frac{38.2g}{182g/mol\times 0.33kg}

K_b=1.73^0C/m

Thus the boiling point elevation constant is 1.73^0C/m

What volume of a 1.0 M HCl is required to completely neutralize 25.0 ml of a 1.0 M KOH?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
x 0,025
HCl+KOH--> KCl + H2O
1 1


c=1M
V=25ml=0,025l ( you need the volume to be in l)
c = n/V
n=c*V
n=1*0,025=0,025 m KOH


x=0,025m
c=1 M
V=n/c
V=0,025/1=0,025l=25ml HCl
