Select all that are true regarding stereoisomers,constitutional isomers, and conformational isomers
Tamiku [17]

Answer:To convert the model of one constitutional isomer to another constitutional isomer one needs to exchange 2 atoms/groups on different atoms.

To convert the model of one stereoisomer to another stereoisomer one needs to exchange 2 atoms/groups bonded to the same carbon.

To convert the model of one conformational isomer to another conformational isomer one only needs to rotate about single bond(s).

Explanation:

Constitutional isomers differ from each other in position of substituents. Hence if we interchange atoms or groups on two different atoms, we get constitutional isomers.

Stereo isomers posses different orientations in space. If two atoms or groups on the same carbon atoms interchange their spatial orientation, we have a different stereoisomer other than the original structure.

Conformers arise by free rotation across single bonds. Different conformers can be created by rotating single bonds.

When filtered through a funnel into a flask, a mixture of substances X, Y and Z gets separated as below: - X stays in the funnel
alisha [4.7K]

Z is the solvent, Y is soluble in water while X is insoluble in water.

<h3>Filtration</h3>

Filtration is a method of separation of substances based on particle size. Only a particular particle size can pass through the filter. The substance that remains in the filter is the residue while the substances that passes through the filter is called the filtrate.

From the observation in the question Z is the solvent, Y is soluble in water while X is insoluble in water.

An unknown metal absorbs 61 J of heat, and its temperature increases by 29∘C. What is the heat capacity of the metal?
aniked [119]

Answer:

2.103 J/C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Heat Capacity * Temperature change

Heat Capacity = Quantity of heat / Temperature Change

Heat Capacity = 61/29

Heat Capacity = 2.103 J/C
