Answer: Positive tropism, negative tropism

Explanation:

Stimulus can be define as external and internal agent which generate a response in an organism. If the growth and action is towards the stimulus it is called as positive tropism. If the growth and action is away from the stimulus it is called as negative tropism. Example, the growth of the stem towards the sunlight is called positive tropism whereas the growth of the root away from the sunlight is called negative tropism. Here, sunlight is the stimulus.

Explain why water collects in the beaker but not ink

Answer:

water collects in to the beaker as ink has a higher boiling boint than water. so the water will evaporate and condense into the beaker, which leaves the ink behind in the flask

Na2CO3 + 2HCl ---------> 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O How many moles of NaCl are produced from the reaction of 1.67 x 1022 molecules of

dexar [7]

Answer:

0.0554 moles of NaCl are produced from the reaction of 1.67*10²² molecules of Na₂CO₃ with excess HCl.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Na₂CO₃ + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
HCl: 2 moles
NaCl: 2 moles
CO₂: 1 mole
H₂O: 1 mole

On the other hand, Avogadro's Number is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

In this case, you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023*10²³ molecules of Na₂CO₃ are contained in 1 mole, 1.67*10²² molecules will be contained in how many moles?

$amount of moles=\frac{1.67*10^{22}molecules*1mole }{6.023*10^{23}molecules}$

amount of moles= 0.0277 moles

In this case, you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ produces 2 moles of NaCl, 0.0277 moles of Na₂CO₃ will produce how many moles of NaCl?

$amount of moles of NaCl=\frac{0.0277 moles of Na_{2} CO_{3}*2 moles of NaCl }{1 mole of Na_{2} CO_{3}}$

amount of moles of NaCl= 0.0554 moles

0.0554 moles of NaCl are produced from the reaction of 1.67*10²² molecules of Na₂CO₃ with excess HCl.

Determine if each of the following statements about chiral molecules is True or False and select the best answer from the dropdo

oee [108]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

-) True or False: All R stereocenters are dextrorotatory.

The absolute configuration is based is in specific rules that are not related to the ability to deflect polarized light. FALSE

-) True or False: Chiral centers in organic molecules will have 4 different groups attached to a carbon.

A chiral carbon by definition is a carbon with 4 groups. TRUE

-) True or False: A racemic mixture has an optical activity of 0.

In a racemic mixture, we have equal amounts of enantiomers, and this cancels out the optical activity. TRUE

-) True or False: Normal linear amines can be chiral centers.

In primary amines, we have 2 hydrogens. Therefore all the groups can not be different. So, is TRUE

-)True or False: Compound C has an optical activity of 0.

We need to know the structure of the compound

-)True or False: If the R isomer of a molecule has an optical rotation of + 25.7 degree then the S isomer of the molecule will have an optical rotation of -25.7 degree.

If we have the exact opposite (as we have in this case) the magnitud of the optical activity value will remain and the sign will change. TRUE

-)True or False: A CN is a higher priority than a CH2OH.

In this case, a carbon is directly bonded to the chiral carbon. The carbon on CN is bonded to a nitrogen atom and the carbon on CH2OH is bonded to an oxygen. So, the CH2OH will have more priority because O has a higher atomic number. FALSE

-)True or False: All molecules with chiral centers are optically active.

We can have for example mesocompounds in which the optical activity is canceled out due to symmetry planes. FALSE

-)True or False: To have an enantiomer a molecule must have at least two chiral centers.

A pair of enantiomers is made between at least 1 chiral carbon. Enantiomer R and enantiomer S. FALSE

-)True or False: Chiral molecules are always optically active.

We can have racemic mixtures or mesocompounds with chiral carbons but without optical activity. FALSE

-)True or False: A CH2CH2Br is higher priority than a CH2F.

The "Br" atom is bonded in the third carbon (respect to the chiral carbon) and the "F" atom is bonded to the second carbon. Therefore CH2F has more priority than CH2CH2Br. FALSE

-)True or False: Meso molecules with two stereocenters have a R,S configuration.

On the compounds with R and S configuration at the same time can have symmetry planes so, we will not have optical activity. TRUE

True or False: Diastereomers have the same physical properties except in a chiral environment.

All diastereomers have the same physical properties. TRUE

True or False: Compound H has an optical activity of 0.

We have to have the structure of the compound.

True or False: A C=C double bond is higher priority than a -CH(CH3)2.

In the case of C=C, we can say that is equivalent to two carbon bonds without hydrogens. Therefore C=C has higher priority. TRUE
