Answer:

Yes. The solution would be optically active.

Explanation:

Diastereomer are defined as the image that is non mirror and non -identical. It is made up of two stereoisomers. They are formed when the two stereoisomers or more than two stereoisomers of the compound have the same configuration at the equivalent stereocenters.

In the given context, as the product given is a diastereomeric mixture, the product would have an optical activity in total.

So the answer is Yes.

If 17.4 mL of 0.800 M HCl solution are needed to neutralize 5.00 mL of a household ammonia solution, what is the molar concentra

Verizon [17]

NH3 +HCl ----> NH4Cl

moles of HCl used = (0.8 x 17.4) /1000= 0.0139 moles
by use of reacting ratio between HCl to NH4Cl which is 1:1 therefore the moles of NH4Cl is also = 0.0139 moles
molar concentration = moles /volume in liters

molar concentration is therefore= (0.0139/5) x1000 = 2.7 M

Answer:

The correct option is: Carbonate ion < Carbon dioxide < Carbon monoxide

Explanation:

Bond energy is defined as the average energy needed to break a chemical covalent bond and signifies the strength of chemical covalent bond.

The bond strength of a covalent bond depends upon the bond length and the bond order.

Carbon monoxide molecule (CO) has two covalent bond and one dative bond. Bond order 2.6

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has two carbon-oxygen (C-O) double bonds of equal length. Bond order 2.0
