(S)-3-Methylhexane undergoes radical bromination to yield optically inactive 3-bromo-3-methylhexane as the major product. Is the

product chiral
Chemistry

Whitepunk [10]3 years ago

Answer:

No, the product is not chiral

Explanation:

The compound (S)-3-Methylhexane is chiral. However, the bromination of this compound via free radical mechanism yields an achiral intermediate as shown in the image attached to this answer.

This achiral intermediate is a flat and planar tertiary radical. Attack on either face of this radical specie is possible. This leads us to obtain a 50-50 mixture of (R) and (S) - 3-bromo-3-methylhexane.

This is a racemic mixture hence it is optically inactive.

Which best describes the relationship between the terms frequency, wavelength, and hertz?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Frequency is the number of wavelengths, which is measured in hertz.

Explanation:

Frequency is the number of waves that go through a fixed point at a particular time. Hertz is the SI unit for frequency which means that one hertz is equal to a unit number of waver passes in a unit time to a fixed point.

As the frequency of a wave increases which means the number of waves increases in the unit time, the shorter the wavelength will be.

a higher frequency wave has more energy than a lower frequency wave with the same amplitude.

A solution was prepared by mixing 20.00 mL of 0.100 M and 120.00 mL of 0.200 M. Calculate the molarity of the final solution of
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

0.186M

Explanation:

First, we need to obtain the moles of nitric acid that are given for each solution. Then, we need to divide these moles in total volume (120mL + 20mL = 140mL = 0.140L) to obtain molarity:

<em>Moles Nitric acid:</em>

0.0200L * (0.100mol / L) = 0.00200 moles

0.120L * (0.200mol / L)= 0.02400 moles

Total moles: 0.02400moles + 0.00200moles = 0.026 moles of nitric acid

Molarity: 0.026 moles / 0.140L

<h3>0.186M</h3>
