An aqueous solution containing 10 g of an optically pure compound was diluted to 500 mL with water and was found to have a speci

fic rotation of −129°. If this solution were mixed with 500 mL of a solution containing 7 g of a racemic mixture of the compound, what would the specific rotation of the resulting mixture of the compound? What would be its optical purity?

Answer:

Specific rotation = -258°

Optical purity = 200%

Explanation:

Substances that have a chiral carbon ( a carbon which has four different atoms or compounds bond to it) have optical isomers. The different molecules are called enantiomers, and they differ by the side they deflect polarised light. A mixture contained the same number of the enantiomers is not optical and doesn't deflect polarized light. It's called a racemic mixture.

The specific rotation (spec.rot.) can be calculated by the equation:

spec.rot. = α/lc

Where α is the observed rotation of the plane polarised light in degrees, l is the path length in decimeters, and c is the concentration of the solution in g/100 mL.

The initial concentration is 10g/500mL = 2g/100 mL. The racemic mixture doesn't change the specific rotation, so the final concentration is 10g/1000 mL = 1g/100 mL. Then:

\frac{spec.rot.1}{spec.rot.2} = \frac{\frac{α}{lc1} }{\frac{α}{lc2} }

with α and l the same:

spec.rot.1/spec.rot.2 = c2/c1

spec.rot.2 = c1xspec.rot.1/c2

spec.rot.2 = 2x(-129°)/1

spec.rot.2 = -258°

If for a -129° the optical purity was 100%:

-129° ---------- 100%

-258° --------- x

By a direct simple three rule:

129x = 25800

x = 200%

What mass in grams would 5.7L of hydrogen gas occupy at STP?​
tekilochka [14]

Answer:  The correct answer is:  " 0.54 g " .

__________________________________________

Explanation:

Note that "hydrogen gas" is:  

H₂ (g)  ;   that is:  a "diatomic element" (diatomic gas) ;

_________________________________________

The molecular weight of "H" is:  1.00794 g ;

   (From the Periodic Table of Elements).

So, the molecular weight of:  H₂ (g)  is:

    " 1.00794 g * 2  = 2.01588 g ; {use calculator) ;

_________________________________________

Note the conversion for a gas at STP:

______

  1 mol of a gas = 22.4 L gas;

___

i.e. " 1 mol / 22.4 L " ;

____

So:     " 5.7 L H₂ (g)  *  \frac{1 mol H_{2} }{22.4 L} *\frac{2.01588 g}{mol} =? ;

The "L" ("literes" cancel out to "1" ;  since "L/L = 1 ;

The "mol" (moles) cancel out to "1" ; since "mol/mol = 1 ;

____

and we are left with:

____

 [5.7 * 2.104588 g ] / 22.4  =  ?  g ;

______________________

→ [ 11.9961516  g ] / 22.4 =

          0.53554248214  g ;l

_____________________________

We round this value to:  " 0.54 g " ;

 → since "5.7 L " has 2 (two) significant figures;  

     22.4 is an exact number conversion;

     and "5.7 L" has fewer significant figures than:

    " 2.104588 " ; or:  " 1.00794 " .

  → as such: We round to "2 (two) significant figures."

______________________________

Hope this is helpful.  Wishing you the best in your academic endeavors!

As Matter Changes States of matter does chemical composition stay the same or not
geniusboy [140]
Whether water is frozen, in a gaseous state, or is a liquid, it is still H2O. So the chemical composition does stay the same.

Calculate the number of moles of an ideal gas if it occupies 1750 dm3 under 125,000 pa at a temperature of 127 c. a. 0.21 moles
labwork [276]

The number of mole will be 65.81 mole.

An ideal gas would be one for which both the overall volume of the molecules and even the forces that exist between them are so negligible as to have no influence on the behavior of something like the gas.

Number of ideal gas can be calculated by using the formula:

PV = nRT

where, p is pressure, n is number of mole, R is gas constant and T is temperature.

Given data:

V= 1750 dm^{3} = 1750 L

P = 125,000 p = 1.2 atm

R = 0.082 L /mole kelvin

T = 273+127 = 400 K

Now, put the value of given data in above equation.

1.23atm x 1750L = n x 0.0820atm x Liter/ mole x kelvin  x 400K

n = 65.81 mole.

Therefore, the number of mole will be 65.81 mole

What is the pH of a 0.28 M solution of ascorbic acid
Nady [450]

Hey there!

Values Ka1 and Ka2 :

Ka1 => 8.0*10⁻⁵

Ka2 => 1.6*10⁻¹²

H2A + H2O -------> H3O⁺  + HA⁻

 Ka2 is very less so I am not considering that dissociation.

Now Ka = 8.0*10⁻⁵ = [H3O⁺] [HA⁻] / [H2A]

lets concentration of H3O⁺  = X then above equation will be

8.0*10−5 = [x] [x] / [0.28 -x

8.0*10−5 = x² /  [0.28 -x ]

x² + 8.0*10⁻⁵x  - 2.24 * 10⁻⁵

solve the quardratic equation

X =0.004693 M

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = - log [ 0.004693 ]

pH = 2.3285

Hope that helps!
