ules must have a double bond to be cis-trans isomers. To be enantiomers, a molecule must have at least three different atoms or groups connected to a central carbon. To be enantiomers, a molecule must have at least four different atoms or groups connected to a central carbon.

Answer:

To be enantiomers, a molecule must have at least three different atoms or groups connected to a central carbon.

Explanation:

To be structural isomers, the molecules must have the same formula and different structure, it means, the same number of each element. CH3CH2COOH and C3H6O2 have 3C, 6H, and 2O, so they can be structural isomers.

Cis-trans isomers occur in molecules with a double bond between carbons, and each carbon has to have 2 different atoms or groups connected to it.

Enantiomers are optic isomers, and to occur, the molecule has to have a chiral carbon (an asymmetric carbon), which is a central carbon connected to four different atoms or groups. So the third affirmative is false because it says that is necessary only three different atoms or groups connected to a central carbon.

A lake in rural maine drops in ph from 7 to 5 as a result of acid rain falling into it. how has the h+ ion concentration change
Jlenok [28]
The H+ concentration in the lake has increased as a result of the acid rain.
The original pH of the lake was 7, which mean the water is neutral, but due to the acid rain, it drops to 5. This means, that the water has become acidic and how have more hydrogen ion. The H+ concentration in the lake has 100 times compares with its original pH.

in the reaction mgcl2 + 2koh mg(oh)2 + 2kcl, if 3 moles mgcl2 are added to 4 moles koh what determines how much mg(oh)2 is made
otez555 [7]
Every mole of MgCl2 reacts with 2 moles of KOH, therefore the 4 moles of KOH will only react with 2 moles of MgCl2, making it the limiting reagent and therefore KOH determines how much Mg(OH)2 is produced.
