Answer:
Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.
Explanation:
A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.
The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.
Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,
Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.
Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.
Explanation:
A.
Yes
B.
2KHP + Mg(OH)2 = 2KOH + Mg(HP)2
KHP is an acidic salt which reacts with Mg(OH)2 which is a base via double displacement/decomposition reaction.
C.
• One approach is to prepare the solution volumetrically using KHP crystals.
• Preparing 1 liter of 0.1 M KHP you would add 0.1 moles of KHP
Molar mass of KHP(C8H5KO4)
= (12*8) + (5*1) + 39 + (16*4)
= 204 g/mol
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
= 20.4/204
= 0.1 mol.
• This is added to a 1 liter volumetric flask, add deionized water until near the fill line, stopper and mix
D.
Number of moles = molar concentration * volume
= 0.025 * 0.100
= 0.0025 mol
Equation for the reaction:
Ba(OH)2 + 2KHP --> Ba(KP)2 + 2H2O
1 mole of Ba(OH)2 reacted with 2 moles of KHP. By stoichiometry,
Number of moles of Ba(OH)2 = 0.0025/2
= 0.00125 mol.
Molarity = number of moles/volume
= 0.00125/0.01
= 0.125 M of Ba(OH)2.
The 3 and 2 to the right of the components are subscriptions.
Answer:
There are 6.022x10^23 molecules
Answer:
The answer to the question is 0.07 moles
