Answer:
[H+] = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
By definition pH = -log [H+]
Therefore, given the pH, all we have to do is solve algebraically for [H+] :
[H+] = antilog ( -pH ) = 10^-4.76 = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵
Answer: 4 hydrogens
Explanation:
This is what the structure will look like C=C. Remember that it's important that all structures have a complete octet. As it looks right now each carbon is sharing 4 valence electrons so each needs 2 more bonds to hydrogen complete its octet.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The drug thalidomide with molecular formula C13H10N2O4 was widely prescribed by doctors for morning sickness in pregnant women in the 1960s.
The drug was sold as a racemic mixture (+)(R)-thalidomide and (-)(S)-thalidomide.
Unfortunately, only the (+)(R)-thalidomide exhibited the required effect while (-)(S)-thalidomide is a teratogen.
This goes a long way to underscore the importance of separation of enantiomers in drug production.
Therefore, all the teratogenic effects observed when using the drug thalidomide was actually as a result of the presence of (-)(S)-thalidomide, the unwanted enantiomer.
