How many chiral centers does clavulanic acid have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VikaD [51]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.

Explanation:

A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.

The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.

Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,

Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it

Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents

Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents

Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents

Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it

Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it

Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it

Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents

Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.

Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.

Calculate the mass fraction of sodium chloride in the solution if 20 g of it is dissolved in 300 ml of water.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The mass fraction of sodium chloride is 0.0625

<h3>What is the mass fraction of sodium chloride in the solution?</h3>

The mass fraction of sodium chloride is the ratio of the mass of sodium chloride to the total mass of the solution.

The mass fraction of sodium chloride is determined as follows;

mass of sodium chloride = 20 g

  • mass of water = volume * density

density of water = 1 g/mL

volume of water = 300 mL

mass of water = 300 mL * 1 g/mL

mass of water = 300 g

total mass of solution = 20 + 300 = 320 g

mass fraction of sodium chloride = 20/320

mass fraction of sodium chloride = 0.0625
