Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We must remember that the D / L nomenclature refers to the orientation of the hydroxyl group on carbon 5. If the "OH" is on the right we will have a D configuration. Yes, the "OH" is on the left we will have an L configuration. (See figure 1)

Now, the orientation of this "OH" has nothing to do with the ability of the molecule to deflect polarized light. If the molecule deflects light to the left we will have the symbol "(-)" (levorotation) if the molecule deflects light to the right we will have the symbol "(+)" (dextrorotation).

So in the "D" configuration, we can have both a right (+) and a left (-) deviation.

I hope it helps!

What mass of silver oxide, Ag2O is required to produce 25.0 g of silver sulfadiazine, AgC10H9N4SO2, from the reaction of silver

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

8.1107 g

Explanation:

The given reaction:

$2C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2+Ag_2O\rightarrow 2AgC_{10}H_9N_4SO_2+H_2O$

Given that:

Mass of silver sulfadiazine = 25.0 g

Molar mass of silver sulfadiazine = 357.14 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{25.0\ g}{357.14\ g/mol}$

$Moles= 0.07\ mol$

From the reaction,

2 moles of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1 mole of silver oxide

So,

1 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2 mole of silver oxide

0.07 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2*0.07 mole of silver oxide

Moles of silver oxide = 0.035 moles

Molar mass of silver oxide = 231.735 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.035 moles * 231.735 g/mol = 8.1107 g

If liquid carbon disulfide reacts with 450 mL of oxygen to produce the gases carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, what volume of e

ivolga24 [154]

If excess carbon disulfide reacts with 450 mL of oxygen, 150 mL of carbon dioxide and 300 mL of sulfur dioxide gases would be produced respectively.

<h3>Stoichiometric calculation</h3>

The reaction between liquid carbon disulfide and oxygen is represented by the equations below:

$CS_2 + 3O_2 -- > CO_2 + 2SO_2$

The mole ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide produced is 3:1:2.

Thus, for 450 mL oxygen, 1/3 x 450 = 150 mL of carbon dioxide will be required.

Also for 450 mL of oxygen, 2/3 x 450 = 300 mL of sulfur dioxide will be required.

Describe some of the dangers of Global warming.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Increased Heat, Drought, and Insect outbreaks.

Explanation:

Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal areas are additional concerns.

I need help with balancing equations I'm doing homework and idk what to do here can you give me the answers please lol

amm1812

It's pretty easy to balance equations! Basically you want to make sure that the number of each compound is equal on both sides of the arrow.

For example number one is

Fe + H2SO4 -> Fe2(SO4)3 + H2

A 3 in front of H2SO4 because there's a subscript of 3 on the right side.

Then a 3 in front of H2 because of the previous step.

Then add a 2 in front of Fe because of the 2 subscript in Fe2(SO4)3

Then add a 1 in front of Fe2(SO4)3 because you already have an equal number of each element.

2Fe + 3H2SO4 -> 1Fe2(SO4)3 + 3H2

I hope this explanation helps! You should really do your homework because practice is everything when it comes to chemistry. You'll need to know how to do it for exams.

How is atomic number different from mass number?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Hello Gary My Man!

Well, as you can clearly see

The atomic number of an element is basically the number of protons it has. So yes, for every element this is different. Now, the mass number of an element as known, is the number of protons+the number of neutrons. So theoretically as we can see, this number should be a whole number, but since there are different isotopes (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons) of each element, most periodic tables take account of that, so they often include decimals as seen.

So in Short, ALL the atoms of a particular element have the SAME EXACT atomic number (number of protons of course). The atoms of different elements have very different numbers of protons. And of course, the MASS number of an atom is the TOTAL number as known, of protons and of course, the neutrons it contains in it.

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)
