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!

The density of H2O2 is 1.407 g/mL, and the density of O2 is 1.428 g/L. How many liters of O2 can be made from 55 mL H2O2
balandron [24]

Explanation:

mass H2O2 = 55 mL(1.407 g/mL) = 80.85 g

molar mass H2O2 = 2(1.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol) = 34.02 g/mol

moles H2O2 = 80.85 g/34.02 g/mol = 2.377 moles H2O2

For each mole of H2O2 you obtain 0.5 mole of O2 (see the equation).

moles O2 = 2.377 moles H2O2 (1 mole O2)/(2 moles H2O2) = 1.188 moles O2

Now, you need the temperature.  If you are at STP (273 K, and 1.00 atm) then 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L.  Without temperature you are not really able to continue.  I will assume you are at STP.

Volume O2 = 1.188 moles O2(22.4 L/mole) = 0.0530 L of O2.

which is  53 mL.

Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:  The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

        CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.

Hydrogen and chlorine react to form hydrogen chloride, like this:
REY [17]

Answer:

the value of the equilibrium constant Kp for this reaction is 0.275

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Pressure HCl at the equilibrium = 18.0 atm

Pressure H2 at the equilibrium = 25.4 atm

Pressure Cl2 at the equilibrium = 46.4 atm

Step 2: The balanced equation

H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2 HCl(g)

Step 3: Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant Kp for this reaction

Kp = (pHCl)² / (pH2*pCl2)

Kp = 18.0² / (25.4 * 46.4)

Kp = 324 / 1178.56

Kp = 0.275

the value of the equilibrium constant Kp for this reaction is 0.275

Classify each of the following as a strong acid or a weak acid and indicate how each should be written in aqueous solution. Clas
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

HCN, weak acid

H⁺, Br⁻, strong acid

Explanation:

Hydrocyanic acid is a weak acid, according to the following equation.

HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

Thus, it should be written in the undissociated form (HCN).

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid, according to the following equation.

HBr(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

Thus, it should be written in the ionic form (H⁺, Br⁻).

An industrial chemist is studying a sample of an unknown metal. Describe two ways he could change the metal physically and two w
Trava [24]

Answer:

Some of the physical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by scratching it with other metals in order to find the hardness of it. Trying to deform it in order to find the malleability, and to heat it and measure the temperature in order to find the melting point.  

Some of the chemical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by inserting it in water to observe that whether it reacts with it or not, if the reaction is violent, then the metal belongs to either group I or group II. The other method is to insert it in acids of distinct strength and to observe its reaction. The metals belonging to the second group react briskly with acids. The other metals react gradually with acids and others are almost inert.
