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

Chemistry
2 answers:
Masteriza [31]3 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.

What is the number of oxygen atoms in 32grams of the gas​
Lady bird [3.3K]

One mole of oxygen gas, which has the formula O2, has a mass of 32 g and contains 6.02 X 1023 molecules of oxygen but 12.04 X 1023 (2 X 6.02 X 1023) atoms, because each molecule of oxygen contains two oxygen atoms.

A 45.0 g sample of a metal at 85.6 °C is placed in 150.0 g of water at 24.6 °C. The final temperature of the system is 28.3 °
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

904.014 j/kgk

Explanation:

Mass of metal = 45g

Temperature of metal = 85.6°

Mass of water = 150

Temperature of water = 24.6

Final temperature of system = 28.3

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water

m1 * c1 * dt = m2 * c2 * dt

Q = quantity of heat

Q = m*c*dt

dt = change in temperature

dt of water = 28.3 - 24.6 = 3.7

dt of metal = 85.6 - 28.3 = 57.3

Specific heat capacity of water, c = 4200

(45 * 10^-3) * c * 57.3 = (150 * 10^-3) * 4200 * 3.7

2.5785c1 = 2331

c1 = 2331 / 2.5785

= 904.01396

= 904.014 j/kgk

Ammonia is an important ingredient in many fertilizers. The main process by which ammonia is made is the Haber process. In this
creativ13 [48]
The best answer is "<span>High temperatures increase the activation energy of the reaction."

The Haber process is an exothermic reaction at room temperature. This means that the reaction actually favors the reverse reaction, especially when the temperature is increased. So why increase the reaction temperature?

The reason for this is that nitrogen is a very stable element. Therefore, more energy is needed to overcome the slow rate of reaction. So the reaction temperature must be low enough to favor a forward reaction, but high enough to speed up the reaction.</span>
