Explanation:

Organic compounds are defined as the compounds which contain carbon as their main element. For example, $CH_{3}OH$ is an organic compound.

Generally, organic compounds are non-polar in nature and due to the presence of covalent bonding organic compounds have low melting point.

As compound A melts at $801^{o}C$ and is soluble in water. This means it is an ionic compound as it has high melting point and it is also polar in nature.

Whereas compound B melts at $24^{o}C$ and is insoluble in water. This means that this compound has covalent bonding and it is also non-polar in nature . Hence, it is more likely to be organic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that compound B is more likely to be an organic

compound.

Determine if each of the following statements about chiral molecules is True or False and select the best answer from the dropdo

oee [108]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

-) True or False: All R stereocenters are dextrorotatory.

The absolute configuration is based is in specific rules that are not related to the ability to deflect polarized light. FALSE

-) True or False: Chiral centers in organic molecules will have 4 different groups attached to a carbon.

A chiral carbon by definition is a carbon with 4 groups. TRUE

-) True or False: A racemic mixture has an optical activity of 0.

In a racemic mixture, we have equal amounts of enantiomers, and this cancels out the optical activity. TRUE

-) True or False: Normal linear amines can be chiral centers.

In primary amines, we have 2 hydrogens. Therefore all the groups can not be different. So, is TRUE

-)True or False: Compound C has an optical activity of 0.

We need to know the structure of the compound

-)True or False: If the R isomer of a molecule has an optical rotation of + 25.7 degree then the S isomer of the molecule will have an optical rotation of -25.7 degree.

If we have the exact opposite (as we have in this case) the magnitud of the optical activity value will remain and the sign will change. TRUE

-)True or False: A CN is a higher priority than a CH2OH.

In this case, a carbon is directly bonded to the chiral carbon. The carbon on CN is bonded to a nitrogen atom and the carbon on CH2OH is bonded to an oxygen. So, the CH2OH will have more priority because O has a higher atomic number. FALSE

-)True or False: All molecules with chiral centers are optically active.

We can have for example mesocompounds in which the optical activity is canceled out due to symmetry planes. FALSE

-)True or False: To have an enantiomer a molecule must have at least two chiral centers.

A pair of enantiomers is made between at least 1 chiral carbon. Enantiomer R and enantiomer S. FALSE

-)True or False: Chiral molecules are always optically active.

We can have racemic mixtures or mesocompounds with chiral carbons but without optical activity. FALSE

-)True or False: A CH2CH2Br is higher priority than a CH2F.

The "Br" atom is bonded in the third carbon (respect to the chiral carbon) and the "F" atom is bonded to the second carbon. Therefore CH2F has more priority than CH2CH2Br. FALSE

-)True or False: Meso molecules with two stereocenters have a R,S configuration.

On the compounds with R and S configuration at the same time can have symmetry planes so, we will not have optical activity. TRUE

True or False: Diastereomers have the same physical properties except in a chiral environment.

All diastereomers have the same physical properties. TRUE

True or False: Compound H has an optical activity of 0.

We have to have the structure of the compound.

True or False: A C=C double bond is higher priority than a -CH(CH3)2.

In the case of C=C, we can say that is equivalent to two carbon bonds without hydrogens. Therefore C=C has higher priority. TRUE

Write balanced reactions for the complete combustion of hydrogen. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of th

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A combustion involves the reaction of a fuel with oxygen (O₂). During the reaction of combustion of hydrogen (H₂), H₂ reacts with O₂ to form water (H₂O). The balanced chemical equation is the following:

2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g)

According to the chemical equation, 2 moles of H₂O are obtained from the reaction of 2 moles of H₂ with 1 mol of O₂. All reactants and products are in the gaseous phase.
