Answer:

Chiral:

3-Methyl-2-butanol

Achiral:

1-Pentanol

3-Pentanol

3-Methyl-1-butanol

Explanation:

Only the molecule that bears a carbon atom surrounded by 4 different groups can be said to be Chiral, the other molecules don't satisfy this property.

Answer:

C5H12O has <em>eight isomers</em>  

Chiral isomers are:  

Pentan-2-ol

2-Methylbutan-1-ol

3-Methylbutan-2-ol

Achiral isomers are:

Pentan-1-ol

Pentan-3-ol

3-Methylbutan-1-ol

3-Methylbutan-2-ol

2, 2-dimethylpropan-1-ol

Explanation:

C5H12O has eight isomers out of which three are chiral and five are achiral in nature

The isomers that have carbon atom(s) that are surrounded by four different groups are Chiral in nature while those that do not have such carbon atom(s) are achiral.  

Thus, only pentan-2-ol, 2-methylbutan-1-ol and 3-methylbutan-2-ol which have carbon atoms surrounded by four different groups are chiral. The carbon atom carrying the hydroxyl (-OH) group is the chiral carbon atom in these three isomers. While the carbon atoms in the other five isomers are achiral.

'Suppose you take 0.0332 kg of ammonium carbonate and dissolve it using 0.0395 kg of water. What would be the mass percent conce
VMariaS [17]

The solution is 45.7 % (NH₄)₂CO₃ by mass.

Mass of solution = 0.0332 kg + 0.0395 kg = 0.0727 kg

% (NH₄)₂CO₃ = Mass of (NH₄)₂CO₃/Total mass × 100 % = 0.0332 kg/0.0727 kg × 100 % = 45.7 %

In part 3 of the lab, you discovered the relationship between temperature (T) and volume (V) of a gas.
rewona [7]

\frac{V1}{T1} = k

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relation between volume, V of gas and Temperature, T of a gas is related by Charles Law.

This law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature

Thus,

\frac{V}{T} = k

where k is a constant

Therefore,

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2\\} = \frac{V3}{T3} ...

This shows, as the volume of a gas goes up, the temperature also goes up and vice-versa.
