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.

If 0.200 moles of AgNO₃ react with 0.155 moles of H₂SO₄ according to this UNBALANCED equation below, what is the mass in grams o

morpeh [17]

Answer:

31.2 g of Ag₂SO₄

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2AgNO₃(aq) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → Ag₂SO₄ (s) + 2HNO₃ (aq)

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of AgNO₃ reacted with 1 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1 mole of Ag₂SO₄ and 2 moles of HNO₃.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant.

This can obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of AgNO₃ reacted with 1 mole of H₂SO₄.

Therefore, 0.2 moles of AgNO₃ will react with = (0.2 x 1)/2 = 0.1 mole of H₂SO₄.

From the calculations made above, only 0.1 mole out of 0.155 mole of H₂SO₄ given is needed to react completely with 0.2 mole of AgNO₃. Therefore, AgNO₃ is the limiting reactant.

Next,, we shall determine the number of mole of Ag₂SO₄ produced from the reaction.

In this case we shall use the limiting reactant because it will give the maximum yield of Ag₂SO₄ as all of it is consumed in the reaction.

The limiting reactant is AgNO₃ and the number of mole of Ag₂SO₄ produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of AgNO₃ reacted to produce 1 mole of Ag₂SO₄.

Therefore, 0.2 moles of AgNO₃ will react to produce = (0.2 x 1)/2 = 0.1 mole of Ag₂SO₄.

Therefore, 0.1 mole of Ag₂SO₄ is produced from the reaction.

Finally, we shall convert 0.1 mole of Ag₂SO₄ to grams.

This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Ag₂SO₄ = (2x108) + 32 + (16x4) = 312 g/mol

Mole of Ag₂SO₄ = 0.1

Mass of Ag₂SO₄ =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.1 = Mass of Ag₂SO₄ /312

Cross multiply

Mass of Ag₂SO₄ = 0.1 x 312

Mass of Ag₂SO₄ = 31.2 g

Therefore, 31.2 g of Ag₂SO₄ were obtained from the reaction.

Why should scientists control most possible variables in their experiments?

irina [24]

Scientists should control most possible variables in experiments to get the most valid and correct data. If many variables are included in experiments it is more difficult to interpret what is causing a different outcome.

Which of the following statements concerning equilibrium constants is true? The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is

Brut [27]

Answer:

When the coefficients in a balanced chemical reaction are multiplied by two, the equilibrium constant is not affected.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is known to remain steady.

Even if all the coefficients of all the species in the reaction are multiplied by two, the value of the equilibrium constant will reamin the same because the equilibrium position will not change as a result of that.
