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.

QUESTION 51 Buffer capacity is best defined as: OA) Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added to a buffer
Schach [20]

Answer:

The best definition is: "Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added to a buffer without destroying its effectiveness"

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that is somewhat resist to pH changes by reacting with acids and bases that may be added into the solution. It's capacity is the amounto of acid or base that can be added into solution without much change in pH.

So the best definition is: "Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added to a buffer without destroying its effectiveness"

state the conditions under which copper reacts with sulphuric (vi) acid and give an equation for the reaction​
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

When the metal reacts with hot, concentrated sulphuric acid, the products of the reaction are copper (II) sulphate, sulphur dioxide and water. Cu + 2H2SO4 = CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O. This is a typical redox reaction in which the acid is reduced to SO2, but no hydrogen is produced here

A 2. 75-l container filled with co2 gas at 25°c and 225 kpa pressure springs a leak. When the container is re-sealed, the pressu
Serjik [45]

The number of moles of gas lost is  0.0213 mol. It can be solved with the help of Ideal gas law.

<h3>What is Ideal law ?</h3>

According to this law, "the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the number on moles of gas, directly proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the pressure. i.e.

PV = nRT.

Where,

  • p = pressure
  • V = volume (1.75 L = 1.75 x 10⁻³ m³)
  • T =  absolute temperature
  • n = number of moles
  • R =  gas constant, 8.314 J*(mol-K)

Therefore, the number of moles is

n = PV / RT

State 1 :

  • T₁ = (25⁰ C = 25+273 = 298 K)
  • p₁ = 225 kPa = 225 x 10³ N/m²

State 2 :

  • T₂ = 10 C = 283 K
  • p₂ = 185 kPa = 185 x 10³ N/m²

The loss in moles of gas from state 1 to state 2 is

Δn = V/R (P₁/T₁ - P₂/T₂ )

V/R = (1.75 x 10⁻³ m³)/(8.314 (N-m)/(mol-K) = 2.1049 x 10⁻⁴ (mol-m²-K)/N

p₁/T₁ = (225 x 10³)/298 = 755.0336 N/(m²-K)

p₂/T₂ = (185 x 10³)/283 = 653.7102 N/(m²-K)

Therefore,

Δn = (2.1049 x 10⁻⁴ (mol-m²-K)/N)*(755.0336 - 653.7102 N/(m²-K))

    = 0.0213 mol

Hence, The number of moles of gas lost is 0.0213 mol.
