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!

Did an oxidation-reduction reaction occur in the reaction between copper sulfate and sodium sulfide?
salantis [7]

1. It's not gonna be A, B, or C because  redox means when the electrons transfer both ways and a b and c dont show that. Bw d and E i'd go for D.

for 2.

I'd say B  because both reactants are acqueous while 1 product is solid so it would probably precipitate.



good luck dadddddd

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:Reliability

Explanation:

Reliability of a test refers to how consistently a test measures a characteristic under the same conditions.

Reliability can be defined as the degree of consistency of which a chemical test gives a similar result. measure. A test is said to be highly reliable when it gives the same repeated result under the same conditions of measure.

But when a test gives different results under the same condition of measure it has a low reliability.

Hence, If a test yields consistent results every time it is used, it has a high degree of reliability.
