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.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

A gas made up of homonuclear diatomic molecules escapes through a pinhole .533 times as fast as Ne gas. Write the chemical formula of the gas.

Molar mass of Ne gas is 39.1 g/mol

.533= sqrt(39.1/x)

Sq (0.533) = 20.18/x

0.284 = 20.18/x

x = 71.034 g/mol

Where the chlorine has a molar mass of = 35.5g and molar mass of Cl2 gas = 2 × 35.5 = 71 g/mol

Explanation:

Graham's law: Rate1/Rate2 = sqrt(M2/M1) where M is the molar mass

Thus we have (Rate of x)/(Rate of Ne) = sqrt((Molar mass of Ne)/(Molar mass of x))

From the question (Rate of x)/(Rate of Ne) =0.533

and sqrt((Molar mass of Ne)/(Molar mass of x)) = sqrt(39.1/(Molar mass of x))

.533/1= sqrt(39.1/x)

Sq (0.533) = 20.18/x

0.284 = 20.18/x

x = 71.034 g/mol

Hence a compatible gas is chlorine Cl2 with molar mass of

71 g/mol

How much energy is required to boil 65 grams of 100°C water<br> And then heat the steam to 150°C?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

13598 J

Explanation:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of energy (J)

m = mass (grams)

c = specific heat capacity

∆T = change in temperature

m = 65g, specific heat capacity of water = 4.184J/g°C, initial temperature= 100°C, final temperature = 150°C

Q = 65 × 4.184 × (150 - 100)

Q = 271.96 × 50

Q = 13598 J

Hence, 13598 J of energy is required to boil 65 grams of 100°C water and then heat the steam to 150°C.
