6 0

Answer:

The opposite of chiral is achiral.

Achiral objects are superimposable with their mirror images.

A Chiral molecule has a mirror image that cannot line up with it perfectly- the mirror images are non superimposable. The mirror images are called enantiomers

What is a state function?
fredd [130]
Is a function defined for a system relating several state variables or state quantities that depends only on the current equilibrium thermodynamic state of the system[1] (e.g. gas, liquid, solid, crystal, or emulsion), not the path which the system took to reach its present state. A state function describes the equilibrium state of a system, thus also describing the type of system. For example, a state function could describe an atom or molecule in a gaseous, liquid, or solid form; a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture; and the amounts of energy required to create such systems or change them into a different equilibrium state.

How many joules of heat must be transferred to a 480-g aluminum pizza pan to raise its temperature from 22C to 234C? The specifi
NemiM [27]
The given formula for heat, Q=mc(Tf-Ti), is the best way to solve such problems with changes in temperature. It can be said that m is the mass of the substance. C is the specific heat of the substance. The term (Tf-Ti) is the change in temperature.

Q = mc(Tf-Ti) = 480g(0.96 J/g-C)(234-22) = 97689.6 Joules of heat

To name the compound written as CuCl2, you would write:
vovangra [49]

Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride

Explanation:

To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:

Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)

Cl = —1

Cu + 2(—1) = 0

Cu —2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 +2

Cu = +2

Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.

The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.
