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.

Rank the following solutions from least polar to most polar. Rank on a scale of 1-4: 1 being the least polar and 4 being the mos
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

When electronegativity difference arises between the bonded atoms, then a molecule is polar.

When electros are shared equally between the bonded atoms or when the polar bonds in a bigger molecule cancels out each other, then a a molucule is non polar.

(a) 50% isopropanol/H2O,--- 2 (second least polar)

(b) 25% isopropanol/H2O,----- 3 (third least polar)

(c) pure water----- is 4 (most polar)

(d) 70% isopropanol/H2O. 1 (least polar)

What is one way to test whether an unknown solution is acidic or basic
Dima020 [189]

A solution's pH will be a number between 0 and 14. A solution with a pH of 7 is classified as neutral. If the pH is lower than 7, the solution is acidic. When pH is higher than 7, the solution is basic. These numbers describe the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and increase on a negative logarithmic scale. For example, If Solution A has a pH of 3 and Solution B has a pH of 1, then Solution B has 100 times as many hydrogen ions than A and is therefore 100 times more acidic.

which of these is an example of a chemical change A breaking glass B mealting ice on a windshield C burning gasoline D denting a
Nonamiya [84]

Lets do process of elimination!

A. Breaking glass - That is a psychical change because if you break it, it is still glass. It didn't change to another substance.

B. Melting ice on a windshield - During the melting process, there is no chemical change, and therefore, no new substance is created.  

C. Burning gasoline - When gas burns it usually combines with oxygen to give carbon dioxide, water etc.  It is a chemical change.

D. Denting a bumper - The bumper is still a bumper, only thing is it has a dent in it. The properties did not change, meaning no chemical change.
