Chair and Boat Conformers of Cyclohexane (C6H12). Note it is impossible to place all the carbons in the same plane without strai

ning the bonds. Take two opposite carbons and pull both of them up to make one conformation and then pull one of them down to make the other conformation.
a. Can you interconvert one conformer into the other without breaking any bonds?
b. Explain why these represent conformers and not isomers.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Conformation refers to the various spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule that result from free rotation across the carbon-carbon single bond.

There are two possible conformations of cyclohexane. They are; the chair and boat conformations.

We can convert the molecule from one conformation to another by rotation of single bonds.

These conformations are not isomers. Isomers are different molecules while conformers are different spatial arrangements of the same molecule obtained by rotation across carbon-carbon single bonds. Isomers are not obtained by rotation across carbon-carbon single bonds.

Hence, the chair and boat conformers of cyclohexane are obtained by rotation across the carbon-carbon single bond hence they are conformers and not isomers.

Identify the correct net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when solutions of Pb(NO3)2 and NH4Cl are mixed.
Pie

Answer:

Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) ----> PbCl2(s)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation shows the main reaction that takes place in a system. Hence, a net ionic equation focusses only on those species that actually participate in the reaction.

For the reaction between Pb(NO3)2 and NH4Cl , the net ionic equation is;

Pb^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) ---> PbCl2(s)

Calculate the frequency of electromagnetic wave with the wave length 344nm ( hint: use dimensional analysis)
Svetlanka [38]
Frequency = speed of light
                      ---------------------------
                        wavelength 
 
                   =        3 x 10^8
                      ------------------------
                          344 x 10^-9
 
                   =          8.72 x 10^14 Hz.

Hope this helps!

Students were investigating properties of matter, but wanted to make sure that when they tested these properties they had proper
Mariana [72]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

An intrinsic property is a property that is internal, that is, it characterizes the substance under study. The possession of an intrinsic property depends on the nature of the substance. An intrinsic property does not depend on amount of substance but on the nature of the substance.

Examples of intrinsic properties include; Density. Solubility, Melting Point, Freezing Point, Boiling Point, Conductivity etc.

Intrinsic properties really represent the matter that is being studied. For instance, the boiling point of water will always be 100°c. No other liquid can boil exactly at that temperature. Hence, this intrinsic property can always be used to identify an unknown liquid as water.

The students were right, studying intrinsic properties accurately represent the matter that is being studied.
