Answer:
Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.
Explanation:
A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.
The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.
Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,
Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.
Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used to determine the pH of the buffer from the pKa value. The pH of the buffer will be 4.75.
<h3>What is the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation?</h3>
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is used to determine the value of pH of the buffer with the help of the acid disassociation constant.
Given,
Acid disassociation constant (ka) = 1. 8 10⁻⁵
Concentration of NaOH = 2.0 M
Concentration of CH₃COOH = 2.0 M
pKa value is calculated as,
pKa = -log Ka
pKa = - log (1. 8 x 10⁻⁵)
Substituting the value of pKa in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation as
pH = - log (1. 8 x 10⁻⁵) + log [2.0] ÷ [2.0]
pH = - log (1. 8 x 10⁻⁵) + log [1]
= 4.745 + 0
= 4.75
Therefore, 4.75 is the pH of the buffer.

(i) We start by calculating the mass of sugar in the solution:
mass of sugar = concentration × solution mass
mass of sugar = 2.5/100 × 500 = 12.5 g
Then now we can calculate the amount of water:
solution mass = mass of sugar + mass of water
mass of water = solution mass - mass of sugar
mass of water = 500 - 12.5 = 487.5 g
(ii) We use the following reasoning:
If 500 g solution contains 12.5 g sugar
Then X g solution contains 75 g sugar
X=(500×75)/12.5 = 3000 g solution
Now to get the amount of solution in liters we use density (we assume that is equal to 1):
Density = mass / volume
Volume = mass / density
Volume = 3000 / 1 = 3000 liters of sugar solution
