Answer:
It is pseudoscience because there are at least 118 known elements in nature.
Explanation:
Alchemy is an ancient branch of natural philosophy (not used much anymore).
I also just took the test and it's correct.
Here we have to draw the four isomers of the compound 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.
The four isomers of the compound is shown in the figure.
In an organic molecule the chiral -C center is that where four (4) different groups are present. In 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the 3 and 4 positions are chiral centers. The possible isomers of a molecule can be obtained from the formula 2n. As here 2 chiral centers are present thus number of stereoisomers will be 2×2 = 4.
The four different isomers as shown in the figure are 3R-, 4R-; 3S-, 4S; 3R, 4S and 3S-, 4R- 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.
In the 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the functional groups are -Br, C₂H₅, -C₃H₆F and -H for 3-position and -F, -C₂H₅, -C₃H₆ and -H for 4-position respectively.
The priority of the -3 position will be Br > C₃H₆F > C₂H₅ > H and for -4 position F > C₃H₆Br > C₂H₅ > H. If the rotation from the higher priority group to lower is clockwise and anticlockwise then the S- and R- notation are used respectively. However if the -H atom is present at the horizontal position then the notation will be reverse.
Thus the four isomers of the compound is shown.
Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.
