When optically active (R)-2-methylcyclohexanone is treated with either aqueous base or acid, racemization occurs. Explain.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Racemization is said to occur when a 1:1 ratio of (+) and (-) enantiomers of a compound are produced in a reaction.

The reaction of optically active (R)-2-methylcyclohexanone with either aqueous base or acid leads to the formation of a planar enol species for reaction with acid and a planar enolate species for reaction with base.

Both reactions involves the formation of achiral species which reverts back to the chiral product with equal chances of the formation of both enantiomers of the product during the process. This leads to racemization of the product in both cases.

what is the total number of grams of NaOH needed to react completely with 196 grams of H2 SO4? regents
8090 [49]

Answer:

160 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

For H_2SO_4:-  

Mass of H_2SO_4 = 196 g

Molar mass of H_2SO_4 = 98 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{196\ g}{98\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ Sulfuric\ acid= 2\ mol

According to the given reaction:

2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

So,  

2 moles of sulfuric acid reacts with 2*2 moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH must react = 4 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

<u>Mass = Moles*molar mass = 4\times 40\ g = 160 g</u>

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1. A

2. C

Explanation:

For the first question, we know that the water transformed into a gas. This fact eliminates choices C and D, primarily because they describe the change as "gas to liquid" instead of liquid to gas.

What separates B from A is that B is saying the liquid changed to a gas in response to sunlight, which is completely false and impertinent to the prompt.

A is the correct answer.

for the second question, we know that condensation causes clouds -- and that neither evaporation nor water vapor would clear clouds to make more of them, which eliminates choices B and D. Going back to condensation, the accumulation of water vapor plays a big role in the formation of clouds. While evaporation does play a part in [it] as well, condensation is what caused the sudden appearance of clouds in the troposphere.

C is the correct answer.
