A carbon which is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms with different environment is called as Chiral Carbon or Asymmetric Carbon.

Non-<span>superimposable:
</span>                                     The mirror image (molecule) of chiral carbon cotaining compounds are Non.Superimposable on each other. They are called enantiomers of each other.

Polarized Light and Chiral Carbon:
                                                       When a polarized light is allowed to fall on either enantiomer of chiral compound, it is rotated other clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Examples:
                Below are three axamples of compounds containing chiral carbon.

Which of the following acids is the WEAKEST? The acid is followed by its Ka value.HF, 3.5 × 10^-4HNO2, 4.6 × 10^-4HCN, 4.9 × 10^
Mila [183]

Answer:

HCN

Explanation:

There are several factors that can tell us when an acid is stronger than another, which are the following:

1. The Polarity of the X - H Bond

2. Size of the X atom.

3. Charge on the acid.

4. Oxidation state of the central atom

5. Values of Ka and pKa.

From all of this factors, we can see that the exercise is already giving us values of Ka, and also we have different types of acid, not only with the form H - X

So, we will base the force of an acid by it's pKa value.

The pKa value which is calculated with the expression:

pKa = -logKa

pKa is a value that indicates how strong is the acid you are working with. This value can vary depending on factors such the charge of the acid. I f this charge can be easily distributed in resonance structures, the compound is more acidic, and therefore the pKa value is lower.

The lower the pKa, the more acidic the compound is.

So calculating the pKa on every structure we have:

HF: pKa = -log(3.5x10^-4) = 3.46

HNO2: pKa = -log(4.6x10^-4) = 3.34

HCN: pKa = -log(4.9x10^-10) = 9.31

HCOOH: pKa = -log(1.8x10^-4) = 3.74

HClO2: -log(1.1x10^-2) = 1.96

So according to all this values, we can conclude that the weakest acid is the HCN
