A carbon which is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms with different environment is called as
Chiral Carbon or
Asymmetric Carbon.
Non-<span>
superimposable:
</span> The mirror image (molecule) of chiral carbon cotaining compounds are Non.Superimposable on each other. They are called enantiomers of each other.
Polarized Light and Chiral Carbon: When a polarized light is allowed to fall on either enantiomer of chiral compound, it is rotated other clockwise or anti-clockwise.
Examples: Below are three axamples of compounds containing chiral carbon.
<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>The isotope U-235 is an important common nuclear fuel because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and use the expression 'nuclear fission'.</u></em>
- <em><u>Uranium 238 on the other hand is not fissionable by thermal neutrons, but it can undergo fission from fast or high energy neutrons. Hence it is not fissile, but it is fissionable.</u></em>
- In a nuclear power station fissioning of uranium atoms replaces the burning of coal or gas. Heat created by splitting the U-235 atoms is then used to make steam which spins a turbine to drive a generator, producing electricity.
Answer:
D) B and D. Weak tides, called neap tides, are experienced in the Earth's oceans when the sun is in positions B or D. In this case, the sun and moon interfere with each other in producing tidal bulges on Earth. It is definitely not the other answer since I got it right on USATESTPREP.
Answer:
ΔH = -470.4kJ
Explanation:
It is possible to sum 2 or more reactions to obtain the ΔH of the reaction you want to study (Hess's law). Using the reactions:
1. CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ
2. 6C2H2(g) + 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) → 5CH2CHCO2H(g)ΔH = 132kJ
6 times the reaction 1.
6CaC2(s) + 12H2O(l) → 6C2H2(g) + 6Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ*6 = -2484kJ
This reaction + 2:
6CaC2(s) + 3CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) → + 6Ca(OH)2(s) + 5CH2CHCO2H(g) ΔH = -2484kJ + 132kJ = -2352kJ
As we want to calculate the net change enthalpy in the formation of just 1 mole of acrylic acid we need to divide this last reaction in 5:
6/5CaC2(s) + 3/5CO2(g) + 16/5H2O(l) → + 6/5Ca(OH)2(s) + CH2CHCO2H(g) ΔH = -2352kJ / 5
<h3>ΔH = -470.4kJ</h3>
Answer:
Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
