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

Answer:
Explanation:
Molarity refers to a measure of concentration.
Molarity = moles of solute/Litres of solution
Molarity refers to number of moles of solute present in this solution.
In order to find a solution's molarity, use value for the number of moles of solute and the total volume of the solution expressed in liters
As molarity of 2.3 mol of Kl is dissolved in 0.5 L of water,
Molarity =
