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!

A radioactive isotope of vanadium, V, decays by producing a  particle and gamma ray. The nuclide formed has the atomic number:
Slav-nsk [51]

C) 24

Explanation:

When a radioactive isotope of Vanadium, V decays by producing a beta particle and gamma rays, the atomic number will be 24.

 Vanadium is the 23rd element on the periodic table.

It has a mass number of 51.

              atomic number is 23

                                      ⁵¹₂₃V

  A beta particle is symbolized as °₋₁B

   Gamma rays are represented by Y

Now to the equation:

         ⁵¹₂₃V    →    ₐⁿK   +   °₋₁B  +    Y

In a nuclear reaction the mass an atomic number is conserved

   51 = n + 0

            n = 51

   23 = a -1

        a = 24

We can see that the nuclide formed will have an atomic number of 24

Describe the difference between red light and blue light. Describe the difference between red light and blue light. 700 nm corre
fiasKO [112]

Answer:700 nm corresponded to light in the red range and 450 nm corresponded to light in the blue range.

Explanation:The wavelengths of the visible spectrum are usually between 400 nm and 700 nmn with the the rays of red light having a longer wavelength, and blue light rays having shorter wavelengths. The red light has a low frequency of about 405–480 THz and , blue light has a higher frequency in the range of 620–680 THz.  This is due to the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency which also occurs betwwn  wavelength and energy of light rays with the  red light having less photon energy of about  1.65–2.00 eV and the  blue light with high energy photons of about 2.64–2.75 eV.

Red light can be employed in the photosynthesis in plants as it helps in formation of flowers and the production of fruits. Blue light also is important in the production of chlorophyll and can cause a healthy and strong stem and leaves in excess exposure.
