Answer:

a) Specific rotation of pure fructose = - 130°

b) Specific rotation of racemic fructose = 65°

Specific rotation of the racemic mixture = -65°

Optical purity = 50%

Explanation:

specific rotation = observed rotation/ (tube length in decimeters x concentration)

[α] = α/lc

Observed rotation, α = -5.2°

Tube length in decimeters, l = 2 decimeters (1 decimeter = 10cm)

Concentration in g/mL or g/cm³ = 10/500 = 0.02 g/mL

Specific rotation, [α] = -5.2/(2×0.02) = - 130°

b) The racemic fructose would rotate light in the opposite direction. If the two enantiomers have the same concentration, specific rotation of the racemic fructose would be -(-130°) = 130°, but the concentrations are different.

Concentration in g/mL or g/cm³ = 5/500 = 0.01 g/mL

At half of the concentration of optically pure fructose, specific rotation would be 0.5 × 130° = 65°

Total specific rotation of mixture = - 130° + 65° = -65°

Optical purity = (specific rotation of mixture/specific rotation of pure sample) × 100% = [-65/(-130)]× 100 = 50%

Hope this Helps!!!

Would your results be he same if 1.5 g of barium chloride was used instead of 1.3 g? same with 0.7 g of barium chloride?

pickupchik [31]

For a chemical reaction, the results would be the same with different amounts of barium chloride present if barium chloride is not the limiting reactant of the reaction. The limiting reactant is the substance that is totally consumed when the reaction proceeds to completion. In other words, it dictates the amount of products that will be produced. Otherwise, if barium chloride is the limiting reactant, the amount of barium chloride present would definitely affect the results.

H A and H B are both weak acids in water, and HA is a stronger acid than HB. Which of the following statements is correct? Selec

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

B is a stronger base than A^-, which is a stronger base than H2O, which is a stronger base than CI^-

Explanation:

The general equation for each acid is:

HA(aq) + H2O(ac) ⇄ H3O+(aq) + A-(aq)

HB(aq) + H2O(ac) ⇄ H3O+(aq) + B-(aq)

When these acids dissociate into its ions in water they lose a proton (H+), so they are proton donors (acids) and H2O is the proton acceptor (base). This reaction produces a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.

Conjugate base is what remains of the acid molecule after it loses a proton:

HA = acid A- Conjugate base

HB = acid B- Conjugate base

A conjugate acid is formed when the proton is transferred to the base

H2O = base H3O+ = Conjugate acid

The stronger acid will produce a weaker base. According to this, if HA is a stronger acid than HB, A- would be the weaker base (B- is the stronger base).

Compared with water, A- and B- are stronger bases because when they compete for a proton they have much greater affinity for H+ than water does and the equilibrium position will lie far to the left. (HA and HB are weak acids)

Finally Cl- is the weakest base because it comes after dissociation of HCl which is a strong acid

HCl(aq) + H2O → H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Note there is no double arrows, equilibrium lies far to the right. A strong acid yields a weak conjugate base it means one that has a low affinity for a proton.

What branch of chemistry studies the flow of electrons?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Your answer is B, Electrochemistry!

Explanation:

This is the part of chemistry that studies the chemical process in which electrons flow. This flow is called electricity. Electricity is generated by the flow of electrons, from one element to another element. This reaction is called oxidation reduction.

Hydrogen has a volume of 1.0l and the pressure is 5.4 ATM if the initial temperature is 33 degrees c the final volume is 2.0 l a

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

487.33 K.

Explanation:

To calculate the no. of moles of a gas, we can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n is constant, and have two different values of (P, V and T):

P₁V₁T₂ = P₂V₂T₁

P₁ = 5.4 atm, V₁ = 1.0 L, T₁ = 33°C + 273 = 306 K.

P₂ = 4.3 atm, V₂ = 2.0 L, T₂ =??? K.

∴ T₂ = P₂V₂T₁/P₁V₁ = (4.3 atm)(2.0 L)(306 K)/(5.4 atm)(1.0 L) = 487.33 K.
