Answer:

a) TRUE

b) FALSE

c) FALSE

d) TRUE

e) FALSE

f) FALSE

Explanation:

a) Enantiomers have the same molecular formula. TRUE. Because defintion of enantiomer is: One of the two molecules that are mirror images of each other and are non-superposable. To be mirror image must have the same molecular formula.

b) Enantiomers are not mirror images of each other that can be superimposed. FALSE. That is the negation of the enantiomer definition.

c) In the ranking of functional groups, alcohols rank above carboxylic acids. FALSE. In Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules, carbon of carboxylic acid is bonded with two oxygens but in alcohols is bonded with just one oxygen.

d) The R-isomer of a molecule shows an optical rotation of -9°. Its enantiomer shows +9°. TRUE. One way to differentiate R- S-isomers is with optical rotation. The rotation of R-isomer will be the negative of S-isomer

e) A molecule with three chiral centers can potentially have nine stereoisomers. FALSE. The usual number of isomers is 2ⁿ where n is number of chiral centers. With three chiral centers number is stereoisomers is 8.

f) Meso tartaric acid has the same melting point as its diastere. FALSE. Diastereoisomers have different physical and chemical properties.

I hope it helps!

What is the optimum ph of a sodium formate/formic acid buffer? (for formic acid, ka = 1. 7 × 10–4. )
hoa [83]

The optimum pH of formic acid - formate buffer is 3.75

<h3>What is pH? </h3>
  • pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base.
  • pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.

What is Buffer ?

A substance or a solution which resists any changes in pH, when acid or alkali is added to it.

pH = pKa + log[base] / [acid]

Considering equimolar concentration of acid and base

pH = 3.75 + log(x)/(x)

pH = 3.75 + log (1)

pH = 3.75 + 0

pH = 3.75

Hence,

The optimum pH of formic acid - formate buffer is 3.75

Answer: 1.  C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B)  NH_3

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: NH_3

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: Mg_3N_2 , AlCl_3 and LiBr

3.  For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas F_2
