How many chiral centers does clavulanic acid have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VikaD [51]2 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.

How many moles of carbon in 130g of C2H6
-BARSIC- [3]
 7.22 moles of C2H6. Since there are 2 carbon atoms per C2H6, we must multiply the number of moles of C2H6 by 2 to get the number of moles of Carbon which is 14.4 or 14 if using two sig figs.

A sample of 250 g of water are heated from 40°C to 121°C, calculate the amount of heat energy absorbed.
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the anwser isn't in the choices

Explanation:

H=MC(change of temp.)

M=mass of water=250g

C=specific heat of water = 4.186 j/g

change in temperature is 121-40= 81

H= 250x4.186x81=84766.5J
