Photochemical chlorination of 1,2-dibromoethane gives a mixture of two stereoisomers of C2H3Br2Cl. Write their structural formul
as. Are they enantiomers or diastereomers? Are they chiral or achiral? Are they formed in equal amounts?
1 answer:
Answer:
Enantiomers
Chiral
Yes they will be formed in equal amount.
Explanation:
The Two possible stereo isomers are formed due to generation a chiral center in the molecule.
There will be a carbon with all the four groups different.
The two isomers will be called as enantiomers, which are non super-imposable mirror image of each other.
They are named as "R" or "S'" based on the selection rule.
The IUPAC names are also given in the figure.
The two isomers will be formed in equal amount as during photochemical chloriantion of a compound free radicals are generated (which are trigonal planar) and the other radical may attack from either side (front side or back side) giving the two stereo-isomers.

"Charles Law" is the relationship between "volume-temperature" (V ∝ T).
<u>Explanation</u>:
Charles Law is basically volume-temperature relationship (V ∝ T). French scientist “Jacques Charles” in 1787 studied effect of temperature on the volume of gases at constant pressure, which described how gases manage to expand when heated. Law stated as “At constant pressure, the volume of a given "mass" of a gas decreases or increases by 1/273 of its volume at for each one degree rise or fall in temperature”. Formula derived from law is as follows:
here
is volume of given mass of a gas at
,
is its volume at any temperature
. Application of Charles law is hot air balloons.
