Which of the isomeric alcohols having the molecular formula c5h12o are chiral which are achiral?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Masteriza [31]2 years ago

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.

Assuming that the solubility of radon in water with 1 atm pressure of the gas over the water at 30 ∘C is 7.27×10−3M, what is the
Daniel [21]

Answer:

K = 137.55 atm/M.

Explanation:

  • The relationship between gas pressure and the  concentration of dissolved gas is given by  Henry’s law:

<em>P = (K)(C)</em>

where P is the partial pressure of the gaseous  solute above the solution (P = 1.0 atm).

k is a constant (Henry’s constant).

C is the concentration of the dissolved gas (C = 7.27 x 10⁻³ M).

∴ K = P/C = (1.0 atm)/(7.27 x 10⁻³ M) = 137.55 atm/M.

A pressure cooker contains 5.68 L of air at a temperature of 390 4K if the absolute pressure of the air in the pressure cooker i
Cloud [144]

Answer:

3.59x10⁻⁴ mol

Explanation:

Assuming ideal behaviour we can solve this problem by using the<em> PV=nRT formula</em>, where:

  • P = 205 Pa
  • V = 5.68 L
  • n = ?
  • R = 8314.46 Pa·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • T = 390.4 K

We<u> input the data given by the problem</u>:

  • 205  Pa * 5.68 L = n * 8314.46 Pa·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 390.4 K

And <u>solve for n</u>:

  • n = 3.59x10⁻⁴ mol

Alexxandr [17]
<span>The correct answer is b. Boiling point, why? because the liquid sample of napthalene is heated and remained at the temperature of 218 degrees celsius, the outcome was that the napthalene was completely vaporized, therefore we are given the scenario that at the temperature of 218 degrees celsius is considered to be the boiling pont of napthalene.</span>

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.
