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.

Answer:
B. The student chose the correct tile, but needs to flip the tile to make the units cancel
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
2AgNO₃(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq)
<em>2 moles of AgNO₃ react per mole of Cu producing 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂</em>
Thus, if you want to produce 6.75moles of Cu(NO₃)₂ you need:
= 13.50 moles of AgNO₃ are needed
Thus, if you analize the tile shown by the student:
