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.

Hydrogen bonds form between neighboring water molecules because of:

*A & B*

Answers A & B are not possible, as Hydrogen “bonds” are intermolecular forces and do not actually involve transfer or sharing of electrons.

*C & D*

Viscosity and surface tension are not the answer as they are not specific enough to the question.

*E*

Polarity of water molecules is the correct answer, as water molecules are highly polar. The partial positive of the Hydrogen on one water molecule is highly attracted to the partial negative of the Oxygen (due to its lone pairs) on another water molecule.

Answer: c. Salt and Water

Explanation:

For example;

When an Arrhenius acid such as; Tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid  (H2SO4) reacts with an Arrhenius base such as Potassium hydroxide (KOH), the products formed in this neutralization reaction is a salt known as ''Potassium Sulphate''  (K2SO4) and ''Water'' (H2O).

H2SO4   +     KOH ------------->   K2SO4      +    H2O
